      On Windows, using various QProcess functions without a Q*Application object will result in a warning, "QTimer can only be used with threads started with QThread".

      This can be reproduced by running the tst_moc or tst_uic autotests on Windows.

      I'm not sure if this will be considered a bug, since the documentation generally advises to create a Q*Application before using anything else; however, if this isn't a bug in QProcess, then it is a bug in the named autotests.
