Other than that QThread is part of QT and threading isn't, what are
the advantages of QThread? Is it possible (safe) to manipulate QT
objects - in this case, the button - from a thread other than the one
that created them? (If not, that would be a good reason for using
QThread, which will fire an event upon termination.)
