Well the code to delete the QString has these rules, which seem a bit 
arbitrary:

fromVALUE (ie Ruby to C++):
		if(s && m->type().isConst() && m->cleanup())
		delete s;

ToVALUE (ie C++ to Ruby):
	     	if(m->cleanup() || m->type().isStack())
	     	delete s;

So I assume in you example 'slt(QString &)' is a C++ slot, and you are 
emitting the signal in Ruby? Then the code in fromVALUE would be wrong and 
shouldn't have the 'isConst()' test.
