Good stuff! I can now bitBlt() and scribble in QtRuby like this:

		def slotClearArea()
			# fill the off screen buffer with plain white
			@_buffer.fill( white() )
			
			# and copy it over to the window
			bitBlt( self, 0, 0, @_buffer )
		end

It took me a while work out why there was no QGlobalSpace stuff in the 
generated smoke source - until I discovered the '--globspace' option :). I 
needed a 'class QGlobalSpace;' declaration in the smokedate.cpp file before 
it would compile, and I had to comment out a couple of methods that were 
missing from my version of qt:

.libs/x_8.o(.text+0x10f4): In function `xcall_QGlobalSpace(short, void*, 
Smoke::StackItem*)':
: undefined reference to `qInitJpegIO()'
.libs/x_8.o(.text+0x111c): In function `xcall_QGlobalSpace(short, void*, 
Smoke::StackItem*)':
: undefined reference to `qInitMngIO()'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I changed findMethod() (the one I like to think of as the 'DAMNIT' function 
after Ashley's comment in it) in Qt.cpp to this:

#ifdef DEBUG
    printf("DAMNIT on %s::%s => %d\n", c, name, meth);
#endif
    if(!meth) {
    	meth = qt_Smoke->findMethod("QGlobalSpace", name);
	}
	
    if(!meth) {
    	return result;
	// empty list
    } else if(meth > 0) {
...

So if it doesn't find the method in the normal way, it has a look in 
QGlobalSpace before giving up. There would be a problem if there was already 
a method with that name in the current class because it would hide any global 
ones - maybe that doesn't matter in practice.
