AFAICT the bug is about not supporting watchFiles and recursive flags in
KDirWatch::addDir(). But your changes do not touch this function?

The benefit of a separate thread would be to prohibit deadlock situations.
However, I am not really sure what your changes fix in this regard? Or
is this kind of a cleanup to prepare for future stuff?

Yes.
