I'm sure it would be extremely simple to modify this to use the Glib event loop instead, but I decided I may as well make Qt add the events if I am going to be creating a new implementation already. If there turns out to be any problems doing this later today ill likely just end up using Glib (and might be back asking for advice :)). Thanks for the heads up!

The reason being: Qt then uses the Glib event loop and so really nothing is being integrated, it just is. :) Check out amarok/cmake/modules for a file that checks to see if Qt was compiled with Glib support or not. Amarok's mp3tunes support needs it. If your Qt is built with Glib support, you don’t have to do anything at all to integrate the glib event loop.

Expect screen shots soon. :) I did some research on integrating the two event loops, but decided it would be easier and a great deal cleaner to have Qt register the sockets to monitor given how easy implementing the Io interface is.

I'm pretty sure they can interoperate without problems. Does Qt4 use the Glib event loop by default anyway? I’m pretty sure they can interoperate without problems.

Are there any screen shots you could post? We are all very keen to see what it will look like :) Great to hear you are making good progress.
