Looks interesting, thanks.

Just saw that query to get image from gravatar is very simple:

        url = "http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/"
        url += hashlib.md5(self.email).hexdigest()
        url += "?s=40&d=identicon"

(from wikkid sources)

s=40 defines the size (40x40 pixels).

Docs: http://gravatar.com/site/implement/url

So for implementing gravatar support we need to have a separate thread or process which can get the icon without blocking main gui and without user-visible errors if there is no internet connection available.

You can use QNetworkAccessManager to download images in a non-blocking way.
