[Qt-interest] Cocoa Qt version and keyboard shortcutsnot working

[Richard Moe Gustavsen]

When mixing Qt into a native cocoa application (or using Qt as a  
plugin), remember to set AA_MacPluginApplication before createing  
QApplication, e.g:

QApplication::setAttribute(Qt::AA_MacPluginApplication);
new QApplication(c, (char **)0, 0);

And then you don't have to call QApplication::exec() for Qt to work.

Also, Qt-4.7 will contain several bug fixes that makes Qt behave more  
nicely with native Cocoa apps.
