No, I don't think so. I thought I had found a post a while back that was rather 
lengthy - a lot longer than that post - about QThread and its usages, describing 

the new way of using it (versus Qt3's way) and more. It's been a long time since 

I read it - 6+ months at least. I'm pretty sure it was in a Qt Labs Blog.
