[Qt-interest] global thread not running until main app starts

[Paul England]

Interesting, thanks.

How exactly would main() look in that case?  What would it return 
instead of app.exec() ?
I was thinking conversely, I could repaint the widget in question (that 
uses data from the threads) once the QDialog constructor exists, but I'm 
not finding a signal that's emitted in such a case.

Thanks
Paul
