[Qt-interest] QApplication on a pthread in Symbian

[Felipe Gil-Castiñeira]

Hi,

I have a GLib-OpenC-Symbian application which was originally designed to
be a "daemon" without GUI. Now I have decided to add an optional user
interface in Qt 4.7 and QML (the user can select to display it or not in
the config file), so I will have both GLib's and Qt's main loops.

I am a Qt newbie, but It seemed a good idea to instantiate a
QApplication in a new pthread. I have found a couple of messages from
people succeeding with this approach, but I am getting a data abort
exception so I am not sure if:

    * this is a bug in Qt for Symbian and I should file a bug report
      (unfortunately, I am using Qt Creator 1.3.83 and I can't do step
      debugging because of the bug QTCREATORBUG-1563).
    * this is not really a good idea and I should find another solution.
      In that case any suggestion will be appreciated. 

Thanks!
    Felipe.
