Hmm, there's one doubt: The Threadweaver API docs say that one can't
emit signals directly from a job if those are connected to an object in
a different thread but instead one has to use another object that does
the emitting and to create this object inside the run() method. So if I
create a Job-Subclass I need to do this as well, right?
