      The attached source code
      1. schedules a function to be called with g_idle_add
      2. when the function is called, calls deleteLater on a QObject
      3. spins the main loop (QCoreApplication::exec()) the rest of the time

      Expected outcome:
      The dtor of the QObject in question is called right after the deleteLater, when the main loop spins the next time.

      Actual outcome:
      The dtor of the QObject in question is called only after QCoreApplication::quit() has been called.

      The program prints out:
      main thread is QThread(0x922c488)
      created Sender(0x922f918)
      it's thread affinity: QThread(0x922c488)
      adding idle callback QThread(0x922c488)
      calling QCoreApplication::exec
      callback QThread(0x922c488)

      And after 3 s:
      destroyed Sender(0x922f918)
      QCoreApplication::exec returned
