Qt 4.6 behaves differently when "overloading" signals

[Dario Freddi]

Hello list,

I'm writing about a problem I've run into running Qt 4.6. PolkitQt::Action 
inherits from QAction, and redefines the "activated()" signal of it, so that 
it gets streamed when the action is also authorized. This used to work fine 
with Qt < 4.6, but with Qt 4.6 I get this warning line:

Warning: QMetaObject::indexOfSignal:PolkitQt::Action: Conflict with 
QAction::activated()

And my application catching the signals actually catches QAction::activated(). 
I found out about this behavior also in KDE Partition Manager and I fear some 
more apps might actually be hurted by this.

Any thoughts from trolls? Is this an intended change? I quite don't like the 
idea to change the name of the signal to make everything work again.
