Then, how could I do this? The XML-RPC server is blocking and can't think
how I could make it run in the same thread.
Another possibility would be repainting from the GUI thread, I imagine,
but I can't see how could I do this at regular intervals once the
exec_loop() function is called. Is there a way of doing the loop myself
and calling some qt function at each iteration?
