This doesn't work. Without the Internet Connectivity Daemo (ICD) Qt apps won't talk to the internet. They will appear to work in some cases (for example, using a QHttp) but won't ever get any data.

I have been working on a Qt app and ran across this. There are two ways to move forward:

1) just develop your app's network functionality using something like Qt Creator and run it locally on your Linux/Windows box since it won't require ICD on it.

2) Do all your network debugging on a real device using ESBox or something similar so you can do remote debugging.

Since I am using Python, the easiest way was #2 -- I do all my GUI work/testing that doesn't require network under the FREMANTLE_X86 target so it's fast and all on 1 screen, then when I need the network I run it remotely on my n900.

It's a real pain and I hope this gets fixed at some point. It took me two days to figure out what was going on, but I am surprised that there's less talk about it here..
