REVISION SUMMARY
  CCBUG: 358231
  CCBUG: 342056
  Even the icon with the number of tasks pending moves from time to time.
  
  To reduce the lock up time, a similar patch must be applied also to
  frameworks/kwindowsystem src/platforms/xcb/kxmessages.cpp
  frameworks/plasma-framework src/plasma/private/effectwatcher.cpp
  
  According to the documentation (and a look to the source code)
  http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qabstractnativeeventfilter.html
  
  The type of event eventType is specific to the platform plugin chosen
  at run-time, and can be used to cast message to the right type.
  
  On X11, eventType is set to "xcb_generic_event_t", and the message can
  be casted to a xcb_generic_event_t pointer.
  
  The other eventType are "windows_generic_MSG" and "mac_generic_NSEvent".
  No other eventType starts with an 'x'.

TEST PLAN
  Cut & paste 2000 small files.
  Before, a lock up of minutes
  After, a lock up of seconds

REPOSITORY
  R120 Plasma Workspace

BRANCH
