That probably should have been done from the onset, because introducing this 
now almost certainly means new API.
There's no time or serial stamp on QEvents that could be used for grouping?

At the least it's extra work that requires a certain amount of guessing which 
events go together (except those that are pending when you create the 
QApplication instance).


A rough outline of solution I could see for the current way QFileOpenEvents 
come in :

- store each incoming file URL in a QList
- set or restart a timer to empty that list after a time that's (much?) shorter 
than the average time after which the user could queued another request via 
LaunchServices

Not really difficult, but not really fun to write either and possibly brittle. 
But I don't see another way that's easier and/or more reliable - is there?
