The image cache is clearly unused.
It was made unused by this patch:

Transmit images in smaller chunks
This makes use of the 'chunks' feature of the SPICE protocol to send
images in chunks smaller than 512 * 512 bytes. This reduces the
likelihood of running out of memory when big image are transmitted.

If we assume that the above commit is correct, then I believe Marc
André's patch is clearly correct. I have also done a little rough
testing with XSpice, and it doesn't break anything.
Cheers,
Jeremy
