Fix hang on a lot of output from a program

Summary:
There is a bug in the Qt glib event loop leading to timers never being
able to deliver signals.

Work around this by disabling the glib event loop.

    Running the following program within konsole:

        #include <stdio.h>

        int
        main()
        {
          for (int i = 0; i < 100000000; i++)
            {
              fprintf (stderr, "foo %d\n", i);
            }
        }

    leads to a freeze - not single message is printed - no reaction on
    return. Only after a long time (30 seconds) something happens.

    If I run the same program in an xterm, the messages are scrolling
    through, as I would expect from that kind of output.
