No, not really. QT supports two methods for passing "information" from 
one object to another. One, using signals/slots, the other using common 
event techniques. Within the QT library signals are send containing high 
level informations. Events normally are emitted for more basic action 
(resize, closeEvent...)

Since Signal/Slot-Communication is not supported between threads in QT3 
(but in QT4) we use events for transfering information from the worker 
threads to the gui thread.

So, for this purpose an option to mark the events emitted by a class 
would be useful. And yes, one could reuse the @signal property, but this 
would mix signals and slots....

btw - thanks for the fix.
