If you mean «main "GUI thread"», it does not make sense (there's only
one GUI thread, not a main one and secondary ones). If you mean «main
GUI thread» it's redundant. The main thread (the one that runs the
main() function) is also the GUI thread.*

* In practice, you may find that everything works perfectly if you
choose another thread as the GUI thread, and create your QApplication
and your widgets there. In theory, that's not supported.
