Well, there are some times when you need to call a method of
QApplication.

For example, if you want to put a hourglass cursor for the whole app,
you call
qApp.setOverrideCursor

Anyway, you shouldn´t worry about this. Whatever object you create
that inherits QApplication will be qApp. Since there can only be one
of those, there is no way it´s gonna get confused ;-)
