How do you implement a smooth scrolling text ticker with Qt?

[Lykurg]

As soon as you block the main (gui) thread - why ever -, you can do what you want but you never will get a smooth scrolling ticker.

Also skipping the property animation could speed up: See the ticker class from the C++ GUI Programming book: http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1405544.
