You are setting a widget property from another thread => you can't do that. 
Qt's QObject derived classes aren't thread safe.
Rather: hold your text in some place accessible to the GUI thread, then send a 
custom event to your widget using QApplication::postEvent() to notify it that 
more text is available.

Cf. Qt documentation => Thread Support in Qt
