Comment:

 In Qt4 deleteLater() is handled by the eventLoop() of the thread that
 where "new" was used to initially create the QObject. We are probably
 creating these objects in a thread which does not have a running Qt4 event
 loop. In Qt4, deleteLater() doesn't protect you from SLOT's being
 activated after a class is deleted anyway so the safest thing to do is
 probably to just remove all signals and slots from OSD objects, then
 remove the QObject inheritance and replace the deleteLater() with a simple
 delete.
