Is kquitapp really the main problem?
You can hook onto aboutToQuit() and ensure to get rid of the external  
depends (SIGTERM the password dialog?) but i don't thinks it's possible to  
block exit(0) calls.

No. exit(0) does not raise(SIGTERM) or any signal - unfortunately (why  
kquitapp and exporting exit to dbus - let's say i'd not have done that)


Can you point to the troublesome code?
Atm i'm frankly not even sure whether the client or the password dialog  
should manage this (latter could do hardly more than either grab input and  
ensure it's not passed to the client or sigstop the client - but that does  
not prevent X11 event processing, they're queued and the client will  
process them as long as the queue did not get flushwiped on SIGCONT) -  
also this means that the client won't be able to process anything else  
interim (including dbus calls) - until it's continued, of course.

Cheers,
