+Subject: [PATCH] QApplication: Emit paletteChanged signal
+
+This signal was added to QGuiApplication and QGuiApplication::setPalette.
+Since this function is static QApplication has its own distinct implementation
+which never emitted this signal. This results in items, such as QtQuick
+SystemPalette, which listen to paletteChanged to not update when using
+a QApplication.
