In Qt 4.3, run() _was_ pure virtual. From 4.4 onwards, the method gained 
a default implementation: calling exec(). With this, also the 
recommended way of using QThread changed. While you still _can_ use 
QThread by reimplementing run(), many people make mistakes doing so. So, 
the now recommended way to use QThread is to use it as-is, and simply 
move a QObject to the created thread.
