In manuals about system signals (SIGALRM, SIGIO...,SIGRTMIN...) is said 
that signal
handlers for them should not execute any usefull code, they are intended 
to set some flag
only. It's a recommended way to use them.
So I'm trying to solve this problem (because I need a lot to do when 
those system signals
arrive) by using sigc::signals to deliver received data for example. It 
seems to work but
I'm not shure that I'm going in a proper way so this is why I ask about 
it all here because
I don't quite understand how those (late) slots are working.
   Thanks for answering,
