Detailed Description

Internal Job execution object.

This class is used to start a process within a thread. The thread object itself lives in the event queue of the object that crreated the thread. So every signal or slot within the qthread object will be dispatched in the core event loop and therefore lock the gui. Objects created in the qthread will run in the threads event queue as well as their signals and slots. So qthread uses this object to actually run arbitrary threads inside the threads event queue.
