Hi,
thing is qthread can't receive signals or events if it's not processing event loop.
see QThread::exec() and QCoreApplication::processEvents()

u may use any signal because even if signal has some parameters, you can connect it to slot that have no(and quit() haven't). You can also(more elegant way) provide own signal:

class x:public Q...
{
Q_OBJECT
...
signals:
  void stopThreadSignal(void);
};

class x:public Q...
{
Q_OBJECT
...
signals:
  void stopThreadSignal(void);
};
