Deep down it's basically all the same.  The Qt way of handling callbacks 
doesn't rely, at least directly, on pointers to member functions.  As 
this eliminates the risk of having to deal directly with issues related 
to typesafe violations, it makes it a bit more user-friendly.  After 
all, no one enjoys having to deal with a long string of compiler and 
runtime errors.  But other than this, it's basically all the same.
