My preferred solution for this conflict is usually a "strong click", ie. \
QToolButton::DelayedPopup (so the concept is not strange and as mentioned there \
commonly used by eg. browser backward buttons) either on press (and a timer/slot) or \
release (and time.elapsed) - the latter is probably less common, but needs no \
callback. 

It has the advance of implicitly eating time from the double click while and \
therefore the time to feedback can be considerably shorter \
(QStyle::SH_ToolButton_PopupDelay) since it's "stolen" from the doubleclick interval.

Ie. if you press the button and hold it for ~150ms that is counted as a strong click \
and the menu is opened and it's far easier to release the button within 150ms then to \
coordinate a second complete click within 300ms (my doubleclick time, i can do up to \
150 but it's becoming nasty on cpu load and async X11 ./. sync timers ;-)


(And tbh and in case that's not clear - i personally don't like the idea that the \
menu either triggers a menu or closes the window depending on whether you maybe had \
too much coffee ;-) Just that Win3.11 did it doesn't mean it's sane. Does Win7 btw. \
still expose this behaviour?)

I maybe should apply the patch, but my impresssion was that the code relies on the \
_present_ fact that the button will not receive a mouse release event when the menu \
is opened (because if it would, t would not be NULL (?) and not isActive() either \
(?), so this block would be entered and good bye my window)
