I've done this under Linux - the osgqtbrowser example in svn/trunk has the option of creating a background thread form running the frame loop while qt takes control over the main thread. I haven't tested this under Windows or OSX though. OSX I wouldn't be surprised at problems as it has a really stupid limitation of only getting window events from the main thread - you simply can't poll for events in any other thread. I don't know what the status is under Windows though. X11 copes just fine with getting events from any thread in your app - sometimes the oldest tech still totally outstrips the new...
