derive octave_main_thread from QObject, not QThread * main-window.h, main-window.cc (main_window::_octave_main_thread): Delete member variable and all uses. * libgu/src/module.mk (octave_gui_MOC): Include src/moc-octave-main-thread.cc in the list. * octave-main-thread.h, octave-main-thread.cc (octave_main_thread::run): Delete. (octave_main_thread::execute): Rename from octave_main_thread::run. (class octave_main_thread): Derive from QObject, not QThread. * octave-qt-link.h, octave-qt-link.cc (octave_qt_link::octave_interpreter): New member variable. (octave_qt_link::main_thread): Now a pointer to a QThread object. (octave_qt_link::execute_interpreter_signal): New signal. (octave_qt_link::octave_qt_link): Create thread and octave_interpreter object here instead of accepting thread as argument. Move octave_interpreter to the main_thread object and connect the execute_interpreter signal to the corresponding slot.
