I don't mean the state of the object at time of calling, in the sense  
of slots, but the values passed to the constructor on object  
creation. The args to 'init'. The reason for this is that it might  
not be enough to just create the object with the appropriate state,  
but it might need to go through the 'init' stage as well, so the  
proper initialisation chain is done (f.ex. might be calls to other  
things taking place there, registration with managers etc). After  
that, slots can be set.
