The documentation is very clear. http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/threads.html

"In GUI applications, the main thread is also called the GUI thread
because it's the only thread that is allowed to perform GUI-related
operations."

"Although QObject is reentrant, the GUI classes, notably QWidget and
all its subclasses, are not reentrant. They can only be used from the
main thread."

Alternatively, read a million threads on this list that have asked the
same question.
