QtSG provides its own rendering threads, which are difficult to manage
externally and to disentangle from the actual rendering operation. So,
as a first step at least, the plan is to override the mc::Compositor
completely.

We will evaluate how well this works, and whether it's worth
trying to make QtSG cooperate with the existing MultithreadCompositor
and DisplayBufferCompositor infrastructure (which I would prefer).

Thanks,
