An other way to get access to your qt derived c++ class is using slots and the qt plugin loader (see example below or http://doc.qt.nokia.com/stable/qpluginloader.html). After loading the plugin you have full access to all slots of your class on the ruby side without the need of user specific bindings.

def load_widget_factory(path)
    loader = Qt::PluginLoader.new(path)
    loader.load
    if !loader.isLoaded 
      puts "Cannot load #{path}. Last error is: #{loader.errorString}"
      return nil
    end
    factory_instance = loader.instance
    if factory_instance == nil
      puts "Could not load widget plugin #{loader.fileName}. Last error is: #{loader.errorString}"
      return nil
    end
    factory_instance
end
