Aaron, thanks for letting me know. I am glad to hear that the fixes 
actually work. I am seldom able to reproduce it on my machine, so I 
never know how good (or bad :) my changes actually are. I am basically 
experimenting, but I start to understand Qt and DBUS a bit better now 
(still a long way to go). I will go more dbus-monitor-ing now.
