Maybe you could do it all from one thread using async IO and QSocketNotifier. 
I've done this in C++ once.

Simplest solution in this case is probably for the GUI thread to poll the 
shared data (, the data from the XML thread) from with the help of a 
recurring QTimer(). (Use a timer to wake up the GUI thread every X-ths of a 
second). Doesn't sound very elegant, but it should work well. (You don't need 
microsecond response in a GUI anyway).

Is it possible to share a pipe between threads in the same process? (One 
thread reads/waits on the pipe, while the other writes something to the pipe 
when the GUI needs to wake up)... just thinking out loud... :)

cheers,
