OK, I wasn't sure, I haven't done any experiments with attributes on delegates 
yet.

The C++ Qt runtime calls a method called qt_invoke() for Qt 3 or qt_metacall() 
for Qt 4 when it calls a signal. So you need to override those methods, and 
marshall the C++ args to C# ones and then call the C# target slots or 
signals.
