Hi Dominic.

One thing you can do is to delay the widget's heavy initialization later in 
your code, and trigger it using a QTimer::singleShot(0, myobject, 
SLOT(initialize()));

This way, your window will be displayed with some empty contents quite early, 
then be populated once the initialize() method returns (which will allow the 
event loop to run).

Regards
