Indeed, it works! The simplest solution is often the better! Thank you!

By the way, I have some questions again.
- In this example, they use the QPair class. It seems that this class
isn't implemented in Qt-Ruby (as for the array and hash classes). So I
use an array of size two instead and it seems to work fine. Is it the
way to do it or do I have to use an other Ruby class to use QPair?
- If I want to create a slot that have a Ruby hash as parameter, which
QT class must I use in the slot declaration (QHash, QMap, ...)?

I didn't knew that, thank you. Is it specific to Qt-Ruby or it is the
same in C++?

Yes it helps, thanks again!
