Hi again,

I've changed the code to use QSocketNotifier. There are two problems. First of 
all, the mainwindow is not shown before some data is sent to the pipe. The 
second problem is that QSocketNotifier keeps firing the activated() signal, 
although I am ready all the data. Any ideas?

thanks,
Jeroen

    layout->addWidget(m_te = new KTextEdit(this, "ml_edit" ));
