I guess one could research whether calling all methods that do painting 
through QMetaObject::invokeMethod( ...., Qt::QueuedConnection ) still works, 
i.e. no calls replying on painting to be finished after call return.

If that works calling them through a cross-thread signal/slot connection 
should also work.
