Yeah, it seems that I had some cruft in NetworkInfoApplet.cpp that created 
and set a new layout after the HostList widget was created, overwriting the 
one it created, causing any attempts to access it to crash. I'm assuming Qt 
free'ed the QGraphicsLinearLayout object that was created by the HostList 
object when setLayout was called by NetworkInfoApplet.

I knew it was a PEBKAC error, but I didn't expect it to be /this/ stupid. Ah 
well, live and learn.

Thanks for the interest :)
