I was about to suggest that, but there are two drawbacks with this solution:

1) it only aborts if the connect was executed in the first place. If the 
application isn't sufficiently tested, the bug might linger for a long time, 
even to a release, because that code path has never got executed.

2) it assumes that people aren't using qWarnings for non-problems. KDE 
applications used to do that a lot, until I changed kWarning to be Debug 
level, instead of Warning level.
