We need it to run after all the thread-local destructors have run, to
ensure that some user code hasn't run after QThreadPrivate::finish() has
finished. We achieve that by making it get called from a thread-local
destructor itself, in the form of a qScopeGuard.
This ought to have been done since C++11 thread_local with non-trivial
destructors became available. However, it only started showing up after
commit 4a93285b16 began using thread_local
inside Qt itself. The visible symptom was that QThreadPrivate::finish()
had already destroyed the thread's event dispatcher, but some user code
ran later and expected it to still exist (or, worse, recreated it, via
QEventLoop → QThreadData::ensureEventDispatcher).

This directory contains autotests and benchmarks based on Qt Test. In order
to run the autotests reliably, you need to configure a desktop to match the
test environment that these tests are written for.
Linux X11:
* The user must be logged in to an active desktop; you can't run the
autotests without a valid DISPLAY that allows X11 connections.
* The tests are run against a KDE3 or KDE4 desktop.
* Window manager uses "click to focus", and not "focus follows mouse". Many
tests move the mouse cursor around and expect this to not affect focus
and activation.
* Disable "click to activate", i.e., when a window is opened, the window
manager should automatically activate it (give it input focus) and not
wait for the user to click the window.
