 Yes, it's a hack. I'm not opposed to trying some proper processEvents() that 
filters out all potentially dangerous stuff. But right now there's nothing 
like that available, and I consider blocked GUI updates better than KDE3.2 
blocked as a whole. #65978 has 5 duplicates by now (and yes, it shouldn't be 
marked as fixed yet).
