I just tried without it.
It's still doing the same without my workaround.

Ps. i use wait in Form_show because with GTK it lets the window appear
before running the rest of the startup code.  i guess it's a bad habit and
i should use a timer instead to do that as it doesn't work with qt.

But it's not the reason for my current problem.  weird how your system is
working differently ?

I'll figure something out. thanks for looking
