[Qt-interest] Multiple Process

[Will Rutherdale (rutherw)]

Maybe the question you wanted to ask was slightly different from what
you did ask.
 
I think the problem you are trying to solve is much more simply handled
using the standard signal/slot facilities available in Qt.  You do not
need multiple processes and inter-process communication just to catch
control keys and invoke parallel functionality.  You can have a slot set
up to handle your alt-F2 operation.
 
If the server computation involves a lot of processing, you could look
at using QThread so that it doesn't tie up the main event loop.
 
Only if the server gets really big would you want to resort to a
separate process with QtDBus for IPC.

	but this is not the way I want to do.
	 
	when starting the server application it occupies the screen and
I want to invoke other application on pressing ALT+F2.
	I belive I can use QProcess to start another Qt application, but
I am not sure how to control the second application through Server
application.
