Unknown. That needs to be developed.

The problem in question is that notify() is a virtual function in 
QCoreApplication, which means we can't thread-safely deliver events in 
auxiliary threads while the main thread is either constructing or destructing 
the QCoreApplication. My inkling is to simply ignore the QCoreApplication when 
outside the main thread. Hence the warning.

It hasn't been necessary for the last 25 years.
