Well the main reason I prefer running the .shell's inside xtest is decent 
signal handling. QProcess is so nice as to only report NormalExit/CrashExit 
(maybe I missed something here?). QTestLib does not handle unix signals 
properly either, which it should ... eg Check does.

So you'll have to go mess with 'QProcess::setupChildProcess' and <signal.h> to 
distinguish between a segfault & assert. The shell has robust OS independent 
signal handling for free, easy choice :)
