@dfaure: Do you think this issue should be fixed in Qt itself?

I've just found http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33874243/qprocessstartdetached-but-hide-console-window which supports Patrick's remarks about "how we did it in KDE4 times".

* We use `QProcess:startDetached` in KF5, in combination with "KDE_FORK_SLAVES" (=> causes console win)
* We've been leaking QProcess and used `QProcess::start` in KDE4 times for 'kdeinit4.exe' (=> no console win).

I haven't looked at the Windows implementation of QProcess yet, but maybe it's feasible to extend `QProcess::startDetached`? Ideas? Opinions? 

/me wonders why noone bothered fixing this in Qt itself yet (lots of discussions about the issues in forums)
