Most probably it's a problem of an incorrectly setup buffering method... and 
you won't be able to solve this from within your calling program. 
Either "patch" the program you are calling to use line buffering --  
setlinebuf(stdout) -- or use fflush(stdout) every now and then in this 
program. If you can't do this, then there's no way to solve it.

It's NOT a problem of QProcess or anything you could solve by any trickery 
here... I have similar issues with some of the programs that I call from some 
of my apps and there's no way around it (at least no platform independent 
one).

I've never tried this with glxgears, but an easy way to check if it is one of 
those programs which behave "incorrectl" would be to use "glxgears | less" 
for example. This is basically the same...

(yes, just confirmed: it behaves exactly this way!)
