<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;">While writing tests for KFontSettingsData I found this deadlock:
http://paste.kde.org/p1fada663/
Shorter version of the deadlock by calling QFont::QFont in KFontSettingsData::font()
http://paste.kde.org/pda7fc276/
Basically:
QApplicationPrivate::initializeWidgetFontHash
KFontSettingsData::font
QVariant magic, which calls QFont::QFont (http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qtbase/blobs/stable/src/gui/text/qfont.cpp#line677)
QFont::QFont
QGuiApplication::font
KFontSettingsData::font
QFont::QFont
QGuiApplication::font
And lock takes place
So the patch simply avoids calling QFont::QFont by reusing the QFont we already have (initialized with the default values) and using QFont::fromString in case we have data to set to it.
To reproduce simply set fonts in kdeglobals:
[General]
desktopFont=Ubuntu,9,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
fixed=Ubuntu Mono,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
font=Ubuntu,9,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
menuFont=Ubuntu,9,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
smallestReadableFont=Ubuntu,8,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
taskbarFont=Ubuntu,9,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
toolBarFont=Ubuntu,8,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
and then execute QApplication.</pre>
