There's no Qt::Thread because Ruby lacks support for native threads  
(at least, for the moment), so it's not really feasible to implement.

The most common workaround is to use a Qt::SocketNotifier to pipe data  
into the application over a socket so that your GUI isn't blocking  
while the data is coming in.
