quite a bit. a quit grep gives me 200+ hits in kdelibs right now; some are 
false positives (even though i filtered a lot out already) such as calls to 
exec() in kio slave classes (out of process, so fine) or exec() calls in 
methods that explicitly note that are synchronous (such as the file dialog 
get* methods).

so while a number of those matches will turn out to be non-issues, there are 
still probably dozens waiting for us in there.

i fixed two of them in the last few days, and they aren't that difficult.
