Hi Jacek,

   like I said, we will not change emit. Matter of principle. Just make 
sure qobjectdefs.h is included after TGButton.h or do an:

#undef emit

just before the include of TGButton.h. This is what we do too in the 
$ROOTSYS/include/Windows4Root.h file to remove all brain-dead trivial Win32 
defines. You could also send a mail to Trolltech and ask them to change 
this trivial define to something like qemit.

Cheers, Fons.
