[maemo-developers] Strange problem with Maemo5ShowProgressIndicator

[From: Felipe Crochik]

Daniil: Thank you (again) for the clarification. 
Sascha Mäkelä: this is a simpler way than the QTimer::singleshot. :)

Hi Felipe!

  This is not related to window manager as it's a separate process.
Simply changing
  attributes is done through event mechanism.

  Consider this application:

  #include <QtGui>

int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);

    QMainWindow win;
    win.show();

    QMessageBox::StandardButton reply;
    reply = QMessageBox::warning(&win,
                                 QObject::tr("Title"),
QObject::tr("Message"),
                                 QMessageBox::Yes | QMessageBox::No);
    if (reply == QMessageBox::Yes) {
        win.setAttribute(Qt::WA_Maemo5ShowProgressIndicator, true);
        app.processEvents();
        sleep(5);
        win.setAttribute(Qt::WA_Maemo5ShowProgressIndicator, false);
    }

    return app.exec();
}


Thanks, Daniil.
