Hi - I couldn't quite determine from the documentation which event  
loop the QSocketNotifier monitoring runs in.  It says it "makes it  
possible to integrate Qt's event loop with other event loops based on  
file descriptors".  Is it doing some significant work in the main  
thread, or is it really just getting called back on events of  
interest?  Is it ever advised to run a QSocketNotifier in a separate  
thread?  Thanks!

Liam
