Well, the call() function accepts three calling modes: NoWaitForReply, 
NoUseEventLoop (the default) and UseEventLoop. Whoever uses the latter 
must be prepared for other things happening while the reply is pending.

The default, however, will not process unrelated messages. This is exactly 
the problem I was seeing, only with method replies instead of signals.
