[vlc-devel] commit: Fixed QT4 message dialogs thread safety. (Laurent Aimar )

[git version control]

vlc | branch: master | Laurent Aimar <fenrir at videolan.org> | Sat Jan 10 20:00:54 2009 +0100| [92e66f6eadb1f6a23a54b998648c99ec236a892b] | committer: Laurent Aimar 

Fixed QT4 message dialogs thread safety.

I used customEvent to implement it.
(It renders the dedicated message thread per subscriber useless with qt4).
