Every time the slideshow() slot is called, a new QTimer instance will be 
created. I guess what you really want is to create that QTimer once (within 
the pic_dis class) and just call QTimer::start().

Or if you want to use a single-shot timer you can forget afterwards, use 
QTimer::singleShot() instead!

Also, consider using Qt 4.4+!

The trouble with being punctual is that people think you have nothing
more important to do.
