[immodule-qt] how about use postEvent instead of sendEvent in qt-immodule implementation?

[LiuCougar]

Hi,

I have just implemented most functions for qt-immodule support of
scim: it connected to skim to display the input window (including
pre-edit string, candidates lookup table), maintool bar and icon
indicator in the systray.

I just found in my box, when I am typing very fast, the preedit string
( IMCompose event is used to draw these preedit strings) will flicker
somehow.

----------quoted from Qt doc--------------
sendEvent() processes the event immediately - when sendEvent()
returns, (the event filters and) the object have already processed the
event. For many event classes there is a function called isAccepted()
that tells you whether the event was accepted or rejected by the last
handler that was called.

postEvent() posts the event on a queue for later dispatch. The next
time Qt's main event loop runs, it dispatches all posted events, with
some optimization. For example, if there are several resize events,
they are are compacted into one. The same applies to paint events:
QWidget::update() calls postEvent(), which minimizes flickering and
increases speed by avoiding multiple repaints.
------------------end--------------------------

Based up the doc, I think if postEvent is used we can implement some
"optimization." just as qt does for  paint events: QWidget::update():
if the user types very fast and generates several IMCompose before
entering the next event loop, we can just abandon all of them except
the last one.

Just a thought. Eager to hear your view about this.
