<pre style="margin-left: 2em; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">Nice one, deleting the dialog immediately after show() !
See, this is exactly why I'm against such massive changes. It's just too easy to slip in an untested change, which introduces a regression.
So instead of a fix for a bug that did not actually happen, we have a regression that does happen. Not good.
I'm veto'ing this for 4.8.
At most, review it again to ensure it *only* changes code paths that call exec(), *test it*, and put it in the frameworks branch only.
Yes it's hard to test so many code paths at once, so let's only change code paths one by one, after testing them.</pre>

<pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">This patch attempts to mitigate the unintended crashes that might result from using QDialog::exec in kdelibs. Since nested event loops are potential sources of inadvertent crashes, this patch attempts to prevent that by changing how dialogs are created in kdelibs. All blocking dialog calls, i.e. those that invoke QDialog.exec(), are wrapped with QPointer and the QPointer is checked once QDialog.exec returns. See http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/3919 for more details.
Note that I am aware of other classes that create nested event loops (e.g. QProcess), but this fix is only applicable to QDialog usage.</pre>
