Thanks, Simon, for your long explanation :-)

Yes, and it still does if I add the connect you removed in 1.279. But the 
warning is not a signal incompatibility but a conflict.

As it seems to me, the following causes a double connection:
  connect( this, SIGNAL(activated()), recv, SLOT(blah()) );
  connect( this, SIGNAL(activated(int)), recv, SLOT(blah()) );
However, I tried to remove the recv and the slot in KListAction to not pass 
them to the KAction constructor. Still, I got a warning about a conflict?! 
Then I tried to disconnect() that signal which didn't work either. That was 
the point when I gave up...

Here's the exact message I get every time:
QMetaObject::findSignal:KListAction: Conflict with KAction::activated(int)

Ohh.. When just adding the removed connect I get:
QMetaObject::findSignal:KSelectAction: Conflict with KAction::activated(int)
QMetaObject::findSignal:KListAction: Conflict with KAction::activated(int)

Hmm. When disconnecting or removing recv in addition to the connect I got only 
the KListAction conflict... maybe it _did_ work? But why this conflict and 
what does it mean?

## different topic:
I crashed KMail by selecting a line and pressing Ctrl-C already the second 
time (and the mail was always lost :( ). First KMail freezes, then I tried to 
quit Klipper, which takes upto half a minute, and then, some seconds later, 
KMail vanishes. Almost the same with Kate or KWrite. It happens only when 
Klipper is running. Again the Clipboard bug?
