-   In a sense, this somewhat breaks behaviour from previous Kst versions for

-   in which case we have to come up with a different workaround.
+   - < 0 is deprecated and won't happen again in future Kst releases.
+   - updates only happen from the update thread.
+   - replace update(-1) to setDirty() and a mechanism to tell the update loop
+   to start again immediately at next opportunity (no delay).
