Summary: Opening a dictionary (Chinese-English) takes forever

Initial Comment:
I try to open the Chinese-English dictionary but the cursor just goes to "wait" state and the UI freezes. I think I have waited a couple of minutes already.

1.6.4, Kubuntu Gutsy.

Testing this module with GnomeSword reveals that it creates a loop when
acquiring the keys. Nothing we can do about it, I think, because we have
our own way of handling the keys. GnomeSword is still usable but only by
editing the key directly, not by using the list (which is created nine
items at a time if I can interpret the UI right).

The module is version 1.0 now, therefore it slipped through the test.

Oh my, what is this in CSwordLexiconModuleInfo::entries()?

if ( name() == QString("ZhEnglish") && QString( config(
CSwordModuleInfo::ModuleVersion ) ) == QString("0.5") ) {
			qWarning("Module ZhEnglish (Version 0.5) is buggy and will not be
loaded. Please install a newer version.");
			return m_entryList;
		}

I tested this with the svn code. I left it alone running for several hours
and it seems to have been aten all the memory. There may be more than just
slowness here.

GnomeSword opens it almost immediately but it has a different approach to
keys. We should rethink the whole process of preparing a module for
display. Blindly adding all keys to the combo box is a bad solution. With
large modules it can take tens of seconds or even minutes and the long list
is hard to use.
