Indeed. We have been making the same mistake, although without the obvious ill 
effects of your example.

Where does this limitation come from? The Qt threading documentation doesnt 
mention a requirement to use QThread, so I assume it comes from PyQt 
somewhere.....

Is there any other way to signal an event of any kind into Qt's event loop 
from a non-QThread thread?
