I don't think he wants anything to happen in the background here, 
I think he just wants to know how to force a repaint of his 
textedit control before executing that wget. ;)  Would something 
like select(undef, undef, undef, 0.1) (sleep 0.1 seconds) cause 
the Qt event loop to do its stuff or is there maybe some way to 
force a redraw?

Admittedly, I would want to do what you suggest in the case of 
downloading an ISO since you kinda need a progress meter for 
something that large.
