CVS commit by aclu: 

To see output of application in the Application Output Tab.
This only was possible for the first messages, so I looked in the code of kdevelop to
see what was going on. I came up with this changes in processwidget.h/cpp,
The qApp->processEvents() is needed because otherwise the listbox is not
yet updated before the scroll down. I tried to do the same using a QTimer,
but then I would only get good results when the listbox was not yet very big.
Added a check to see if we are not somewhere in the midle of the output, 
meaning the user has scrolled back.

Patch by:  Pieter Pareit <pieter.pareit IN tinternet.be> Thanks.
