Hi Fons, Denis and rooters,

I have noticed your are working on 2.26 which is in cvs
now. It looks like ROOT Q_OBJECT feature and signal/slot
mechanism will be implemented in this new version. That's
fine. On the other hand we know about QROOT interface between
Qt and ROOT, thanks to Denis and Co. My questions are:

Will we have ROOT qobjects and signasl/slots working with Qt 
signals/slots?

I have tried to inherit a class from both TObject and QObject
to get ROOT I/O plus Qt support. It turned out to be not so 
easy to parse the header with both CINT and moc. I have managed
to cheat CINT with #ifdef __CINT__ but I do not know how to cheat
moc in the same way. It doiesn't like ClassDef macro... 

Fons, do you think we can manage to get things working together in 
a nice way? Do you think we can let ROOT native GUI 
widgets to have the same names for slots/signals as Qt has to easily
(where possible) switch between Qt and ROOT GUI?

Can we have Qt widgets running from the interpreter?

By the way, Denis, have you tried to TRint instead of TApplication?
Does it work OK with interpreter event loop?

Regards,
Anton
