It probably isn't needed. I started off by looking at some of the waitFor... 
functions form QIODevice and descendents. Looking at it again now, I think 
that you're right and we can do away with the do...while() QTimer loop.

I agree. I've not tackled the win32 build environment yet either. I did try a 
while back but ran into problems with the Qt DBUS interaction. I'll try again 
soon.

No problem. I'm doing quite a bit of model-view work in my day-job at the 
moment so I'm slowly getting to grips with it. I should get a chance to do 
some more this weekend and sort out some of the APIDOX too.
