[Qt-interest] QWidget and QThread ?

As both QThread and QWidget inherit from QObject, you would end with
two copies of QObject which makes it difficult to connect signals
correctly. I think this messes the meta-object compiler too. I don't
think you should do that. Separating the thread from the form and
letting them interact through signals seems a more reasonnable
solution.
