Reading the error message:

I would suggest to use the Qt API for creating the thread, and..

..reading your patch, this is what it does.  So this is the way to go AFAICS.

Right, so this is the only thing that needs to be fixed.  It is not trivial to 
do, since the current code needs to know the base class (which should be 
different for the Qt4 IPShell) before the IPShell being used is known.

Apart from that, I wonder why you moved the two code lines that start the 
timer?
