Ok, it looks like the JPEG quality is not to blame, something else is going on 
here and I can't see what it is. Even switching to png the quality is 
rubbish.

Compare the image below - left is scaled/encoded by Gimp and the right is the 
thumbGenerator in QT:

Now we know QT is capable of better, it scales the theme images just fine so 
it's something to do with the thumbgenerator. Can anyone spot the bug?
