Subject: [PATCH] qt: Fix macOS freeze-on-boot caused by unprocessed events

As far as I can tell the line added here really shouldn't be necessary and wasn't until a relatively recent change in either Qt or macOS. The exact reason behind the original issue is unclear, but by educated guess it could have been caused by some kind of race condition within Qt?
