[Interest] Plugin -> QEventLoop without QApplication

[Guido Seifert]

Arrghh.... found the problem. The main program was compiled in release mode and the plugin was compiled in debug mode. Strange, there was once a time when this was refused by the QPluginLoader. In my case the plugin was loaded, all simple functions worked, but I could not start a local eventloop because qApp was 0.
