Hmm, but that would be identical to status-changed going to one of the
finished states, right ? Also, it probably won't help for the error, since the
current code only returns errors if it aborts before even reaching begin-print.
Sending a finished-rendering signal seems slightly odd if you haven't even
begun rendering...
