And I get this quickly
These two connections are quick enough. However, when plasma is first starting
up, everything has slowed down. Maybe this is why my 1 second delay simply
lets everything start up nicely.
It is all the contacts that might take several-10 seconds to come up in the
explorer and in the program. The explorer is blocked during this wait.
I seem to need to see them all listed in the console before any dataUpdate's
are called. This is most probably the change you cite below.
Maybe I do not really (or always) need to repeat my connectAllSources but the
.h file says doing so is harmless .

Most probably will.
