Why do you think the Linux behavior is better on Windows? All other
Windows applications do the "Windows-way". If your application
is a console application, then it opens a console if not ran from one
or if it is not a console application then it doesn't use one at all. This
is how Windows users are accostumed. QT is not supposed to be
a on-size-fits-all solution, but it also tries to be as native to the
platform as possible. If you need this behavior then you should
use the code you just posted. But this shouldn't be imposed on
all other users.
