[Kde-pim] Akonadi & QtDBus multi-threading support

[Thiago Macieira]

Hello pim-people

Two weeks ago, I had a conversation with Tobias about the necessity of 
supporting multiple threads in QtDBus. The current implementation 
specifically limits you to the UI event thread (the thread in which 
QCoreApplication is created) to avoid issues.

In the time since then, I discussed the problem with Simon and the current 
maintainer for QtDBus and we think it's possible to add this feature. I 
have finished coding it in my local repository and am in the process of 
testing it for any concurrency, deadlock or race conditions.

Here's where you come in: since you guys requested it, I would like to 
know if you already have code that would make use of the feature (having 
self-contained code would be better). I want to make some more tests with 
real code to iron out the bugs. In the future, I'd like you guys to help 
in testing, to make sure it works before Qt 4.3 is released.

Now, the disclaimer: Trolltech hasn't committed itself yet to adding this 
feature. It depends on how complex the code ends up being.
