+# We define the module names in the order they should show up (QtWidget page modules,
+# with one or more pages) OR be executed if enqueued (all other modules).
+# Pages can also enqueue jobs for delayed execution.
+# TBD: do we want to allow non-page modules (core-modules) to be set as immediate or
+# delayed? Is this an intrinsic property of a module? Does it depend on whether it's
+# a QProcess, a Python script or a plugin? More research is required. --teo
