Try attaching with gdb, to see where it's hanging.

$ gdb attach <qtruby process id>

Then type 'where' at the gdb prompt.  Probably it will be hanging while it's 
still loading the qtruby extension.

So it sounds to me as though you have the known bug where there is an 
imcompatibility between how ruby an Qt start their threads. Have you tried 
building the 'krubyinit' binary, and starting the QtRuby app with that 
instead of ruby or irb? The source is in 
kdebindings/korundum/bin/krubyinit.cpp, and qtruby/README.1st has an 
explanation.
