Completely and totally untrue (the bolded part). If a thread blocks on I/O, other threads can execute for the process (assuming you wrote a halfway decent application and you aren't using an OS with a crap scheduler (e.g. Linux pre-2.6 scheduler)).
Good luck with your app, though I thought you could get tray icons with Qt, just by switching to a different execution path depending on the OS.
