It is probably not safe to call that from a different thread. If
setStatus() was a Qt slot, you could use QMetaObject::invokeMethod() with
Qt::QueuedConnection directly, but that's not the case. So, what you can do
is to define a slot to proxy the request and use
QMetaObject::invokeMethod() to call that slot.
