I find the objects in qt confusing. You can over-do OO. I worked with a
C++ lib from two co-workers before. It wasn't possible to just use a
class from the ouside, I always had to inherit and one function.

I had the same problem with twisted. I have no idea what happens when
you C-c a QT app (my non-kaa qt test app wouldn't die either). But to
prove my point look at your code and my requirements: I want a function
to call from a thread to execute a callback in the mainloop. That isn't
too hard and IMHO can happen very often. In twisted it took me five
minutes to find callFromThread. Look again at your example code and
compare it to:
| class TwistedLoop(ThreadLoop):
| """
| Thread based mainloop in Twisted.
| """
| def __init__(self):
| from twisted.internet import reactor
| reactor.addSystemEventTrigger('after', 'shutdown', self.stop)
| super(TwistedLoop, self).__init__(reactor.callFromThread,
reactor.stop)

IIRC that is the reason why twisted also dropped QT support. kaa.base
should be LGPL and that conflicts with QT. The QT mainloop can only live
in the test dir.
