are you sure this results in 2 paint events? in theory, these signals should 
all happen at the same time and those two calls to update() should be 
compressed into a single paint event .. meaning that there is no point in 
trying to optimize that call out.

that's the theory .. in practice that theory could be wrong (in which case we 
need to fix it in libplasma). if you could confirm the number of paint events 
that actually get triggered that would be excellent.
