Kent Hansen 302e6968f1 statemachine: Make delayed event posting work from secondary thread
postDelayedEvent() and cancelDelayedEvent() are marked as thread-safe
in the documentation. Unfortunately, they didn't actually work when
called from another thread; they just produced some warnings:

QObject::startTimer: timers cannot be started from another thread
QObject::killTimer: timers cannot be stopped from another thread

As the warnings indicate, the issue was that postDelayedEvent()
(cancelDelayedEvent()) unconditionally called QObject::startTimer()
(stopTimer()), i.e. without considering which thread the function
was called from.

If the function is called from a different thread, the actual
starting/stopping of the associated timer is now done from the
correct thread, by asynchronously calling a private slot on the
state machine.

This also means that the raw timer id can no longer be used as the
id of the delayed event, since a valid event id must be returned
before the timer has started. The state machine now manages those
ids itself (using a QFreeList, just like startTimer() and
killTimer() do), and also keeps a mapping from timer id to event
id once the timer has been started. This is inherently more complex
than before, but at least the API should work as advertised/intended
now.

This directory contains autotests and benchmarks based on QTestlib. In order
to run the autotests reliably, you need to configure a desktop to match the
test environment that these tests are written for.

Linux X11:

   * The user must be logged in to an active desktop; you can't run the
     autotests without a valid DISPLAY that allows X11 connections.

   * The tests are run against a KDE3 or KDE4 desktop.

   * Window manager uses "click to focus", and not "focus follows mouse". Many
     tests move the mouse cursor around and expect this to not affect focus
     and activation.

   * Disable "click to activate", i.e., when a window is opened, the window
     manager should automatically activate it (give it input focus) and not
     wait for the user to click the window.
