My Qt broken?

// gcc -fPIC -o qapplication `pkg-config --libs --cflags Qt5Widgets` -lstdc++ qapplication.cpp

#include <QApplication>
#include <QWidget>
#include <QtDebug>

class Widget : public QWidget {
public:
    Widget() : QWidget() {}
protected:
    virtual void showEvent(QShowEvent *ev) {
        qDebug() << QCoreApplication::testAttribute(Qt::AA_X11InitThreads);
        QWidget::showEvent(ev);
    }
};

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    Widget w;
    w.show();
    return a.exec();
}

--------
Prints false (as i frankly expected ...)

This is due to NETEventFilter being a QWidget. This patch addresses the issue by using a QObject to create the NETEventFilter, which is itself first moved to the main application thread.
