I have tried to compile with -pedantic, and there is no warning reported from 
gcc. Additionally, Qt docs for moc require that you fully qualify enums and 
typedefs for your own class if you want to use them in slots:
class MyClass
{
Q_OBJECT
enum MyEnum {A,B,C};
signals:
	void mySignal(MyClass::MyEnum enum);
};
which I find pretty similar to the namespace issue.
I will go with this solution for now, we will see if this causes problems on 
other platforms.
