[Qt-qml] Sleeping in javascript

Technically setTimeout is a member of the window object (you should
write window.setTimeout, but the window object is implicit)

That's why setTimeout doesn't work in QML. There is no windows object.
Same thing for alert(), for example.

Not that this helps solving your problem, but at least I hope it helps
you understand why you can't do some things in QML as you do in JS.
