[this doesn't]

I don't know if this is the problem or not (knowing neither Qt nor
Twisted), but creWin() creates a window (or two) then throws it
(them?) away on returning to main() (I assume you've chopped
off the bit where main() is actually called). So it's not too
surprising your window doesn't show: by the time you get to
running anything, you don't have a window object to show. (Unless
a Qt application object is a discoverable global and windows
inject a reference to themselves into it.)
