My guess for this is this:
 * There is one thread in Qt doing asynchronous loading for file, http and custom-provider images
 * The images on the dash are asynchronous
 * The Qt thread doing asynchronous loading pauses processing requests if there's 8 http requests going on
 * If the internet is slooooow it may happen that there is 8 http requests going on and thus the file local ones are stalled until one of the http ones finishes

Qt 5.6 will have a fix for this (and so will be if we backport the
QQuickAsyncImageProvider patch as planned https://codereview.qt-
project.org/#/c/108540/ )

I can also provide small patches against Qt 5.3 and Qt 5.4 if we want to
carry those.

Bug description:
  I'm at an event where the wifi has a captive portal (hhonors) and a company wireless network (Canonical)
  I connected to hhonors first when I arrived and so it often gets chosen when I boot my phone.

  When I boot up or unlock the device I see no icons in the dash for many seconds.
  I have to either wait a long while (a minute) or switch to a wireless network which doesn't have a captive portal.

  I don't believe we should be dependent on a network connection to just
  show locally installed application icons.
