They are not thread-safe (they do not act like Qt's signal slots with
posting events to an event loop when used across threads).

To post asynchronous updates, you can use signal slots, but since the
slot is called outside the event loop, you then need to take the
application's update lock. Indeed, the simplechat example is useful
for this. Also the feature/serverpush example illustrates the locking
mechanism in its most simple form (without use of signal/slots
though).
