That is not a full solution. You may be able to serialise all *your* access 
with a mutex, but since QFSW is doing some form of I/O, it may still be woken 
up by another thread and do work there. You need to block that thread's event 
loop (and you need to know which thread that is yourself) if you want to 
ensure full serialisation.
