Actually, i have a question here. QTableWidgetItem does not inherit from 
QObject or QWidget, therefore it can be thought of as a collection of 
data that QTableWidget uses, not a GUI element. Of course this is just 
my observation from the documentation, I have not looked at the source 
code. Am I wrong?

Does creating a QTableWidgetItem still count as a GUI operation? What 
happens when someone creates a QTableWidgetItem in a worker thread, then 
moves that to the GUI thread and then inserts to a QTableWidget?

Of course the best practice would be creating the QTableWidgetItem in 
the GUI thread with the data coming from the worker thread via a signal. 
I am asking just out of curiousity.

Best Regards.
