Phil has released the first release candidate for 3.2 today, which should
fix QThread support. Qt offers support for posting events: unsuprisingly 
called QThread.postEvent(). I'm going to test this as soon as I get PyQt 
built again, so that'll probably be Wednesday evening.

Then again, QThread is a different beast from threading.Thread, so you
probably can't just use QThread.postEvent() from a Python thread :-).
