+Subject: [PATCH] Fix listening for language changes, just react on the app
+ instance event
+
+QCoreApplication processes also the events for all objects, thus including
+widgets. So the event filter would also see all the LanguageChange event
+notification for each of the widgets when the event itself is passed from
+the toplevel widgets to all the child widgets.
