    Because of a broken GridView API we're not able to get the number of
columns the GridView is able to show without laying it out first. And
reconfiguring it to switch from list to grid (and vice versa) is also a
pain in the ass because of the poorly designed getNumColumns method.
    Therefore we are forced to compute manually, using constants
(because on Android you can't query the XML), the needed size to show at
least two columns. Otherwise we have switch to the list mode.

This new API should work just as well as iomx (especially when
the code gets more testing and mature), so try this one first -
the code falls back cleanly to iomx on older android versions.

Also drop the --enable-iomx option, the option is now removed
and the module is enabled by default on android builds.

The ListPreference item always handles the chosen value as a string,
therefore conversion from a string to a integer is necessary each
time the preference is set or when loaded from the stored preferences.

This solve a crash and an issue when changing language or updating the
strings between versions...

Tested on Xperia X10, thanks to Nolvenn

This is enabled by default on android now, and the option doesn't
exist any longer.

According to the documentation the implementation of these lifecycle
methods must always call the superclass implementation before doing any
work.

If for any reason we don't reach the end of the onCreate() the
thumbnailer may not be instantiated.
