hey,

daperl is right, you have to initialise the thread in the main loop otherwise it would not work. BTW, where is your main loop?!? To get a better understanding try this and some help tutorial how to implement it you will find here, even though I do not agree with the title of the blog entry It might be easier to blog than to put it into a wiki, but it is definitely easier to find in a properly organised wiki. Actually there were so many questions related to Qt and GTK in the last couple of days which could be interesting for everyone, that I think it would be worth it to create a Qt and GTK Q&A section in the wiki as the first starting point with small issues (mostly related to maemo) or like this here...what do you think?

Cheers Daniel
