Well, actually its also true for applications consisting of plugins as
can be seen in KDevelop. Anyway from what you and Christoph say it
should be fine to make sure that QProcess is deleted whenever the
process exited (which would re-install KProcess' signal handler)

I still think a comment about this should be added to KProcess
documentation, taking your explanation as basis. So back to the original
question there's currently no freeze for documentation changes?
