That's actually very good thinking, showing you understand how threads work.

But we added a little bit of magic to the event dispatcher: after the 
finished() signal is emitted, it runs all events once again to process object 
deletions. You couldn't have known that by simple analysis.

In other words, you can connect finished() to deleteLater() and it will work.
