Could we use QThread::terminate()? Yes, it's not very clean, but we now the 
grabber thread is not holding the qApp lock since we are in the event loop, 
and we don't care about the thread holding the devMutex since we won't be 
using it any more. To be sure, we could also acquire the devMutex before 
killing the thread. Find attached a patch for it. What do you think, Koos?

Ciao,
