But the problem is that at the time I'm excluding user events, I don't expect 
the mouse button to be down. It's true that this is a wrong assumption in the 
case of the qslider, given that it reacts to the mouse button being kept 
down.

Indeed. I think I'll just replace the slot's content by the posting of a 
QCustomEvent and do the "long changes" in the event handler.
