you mean when the applet is removed? well, it's destroyed then, so I assume 
making it the parent of the qthread would ensure the qthread is also 
destroyed...  ohhh, but "Note that deleting a QThread object will not stop the 
execution of the thread it represents" - so... in C++ I would have the 
applet's destructor stop the qthread (except, I can't remember if the 
qthread's destructor will have been called before or after that)...  
alternatively, there's the destroyed() signal. not sure which'd be easier in 
python.
