setSlotColor() assumes that you already have a slot containing an  
instantiated Color object, which you don't because you are passing a  
string in. You first need to instantiate a Color object using  
something like:

PyrObject *scObj = instantiateObject(g->gc, s_color->u.classobj, 4,  
true, true);
SetObject(slot, scObj);

Then run setSlotColor() on the slot. I think that this will work,  
although it might do something weird with the key string you pass in.

This QC interface is a good idea. I've actually written an OSC patch  
(using the undocumented QC plugin API) so that I could interface the  
two. One of the problems I ran into with it was that you couldn't  
smoothly interpolate values (making text grow for instance) because  
of the cost of the network. Of course I could create a patch with  
beginning and end values and interpolate inside of QC, but that is a  
pain if it is being done often. Building QC into SC should solve that  
problem.

Best,
