They are the same technically.
However grepping for processEvents isn't enough. processEvents is fine *IF* protected
by a modal progress dialog. Then one can be sure that the user cannot interfer with the
GUI meanwhile, like closing the widget where the code is running for instance
(or switching messages, indeed).

But I agree with you, processEvents(), when not protected by a modal progress dialog,
should be avoided at all costs in GUI applications.
