#876: deadlock when request for remote end while showing "Coundnt connect" popup

 on an xbox (and perhaps other cases) a qt event is fired every 5 secs
 (default) to ask the backend if it is currently recording.
 If the backend has gone away, and a further request for backend comms
 occurs, deadlock ensues as no further qt events can get through.
 the attached patch fixes this.
 A further enhancement would be to clear the popup if connection is
 restored but Im not sure of the correct way of doing this only for this
 case. it may need to be made more general but its impact needs to be
 analysed for all other cases.
