No, and I question your design if you want this. If a signal was emitted and 
it was connected at that time, the slot should be called, even if you 
disconnect later.

The fact that your situation is threaded is not relevant. The functionality 
should be the same. The only important difference is that in a direct 
connection, a slot is called while the signal is still being emitted, so it 
can remove further receivers from that connection, while in the case of queued 
connection, all receivers are (usually) already queued by the time the first 
slot gets run.
