Status in Hugin - Panorama Tools GUI: Triaged

Bug description:
I use remote X fairly often and these problems only really show themselves over 
a slow network connection, but I think are responsible for a lot of the 
'normal' hugin lack of responsiveness too:

1. Selecting a single image in the 'Crop tab' is fine, refreshing the display 
takes as long as you would expect.  However, just selecting all the images in 
the list on this tab takes ages to refresh - Even though nothing changes 
visually except the list control itself.

2. In the 'Control Points tab' with 'Zoom fit to window', clicking on one of 
the images to set a point zooms that window to 1:1 to allow further positioning 
of the point.  This update takes ages since even if the window is tiny, the 
entire 1:1 image is transferred over the network.

I'm using 6Megapixel images, so just one click results in 18MB of network 
traffic, and if I don't have 'auto estimate' selected then both images are 
transferred, taking about 30 seconds on a wifi connection.

Note: I'm not talking about the image cache here, the files are on the same 
system as hugin - This is the X overhead of creating a pan-able 1:1 image.

A solution would be to have a 'control point' mode that didn't zoom in and out 
all the time.  The temporary workaround is to use VNC instead of remote X.
