KSplashScreen usage

Hi,

 I'm trying to convert Quanta's splashscreen to use KSplashScreen, but 
it seems to not work correctly. According to the docs this should be a 
rather easy task, just create the K/QSplashScreen object, show it, do 
some work and delete it. The results I get is:
- - the splash is shown
- - the main window appears in top of the splash, so it's hidden (I even 
tried to pass WStyle_StaysOnTop and WStyle_StaysOnTop | WX11BypassWM
to the constructor)
- - the splash remains there in the background until I click on it.
Even stranger, calling any method of the KSplashScreen object after show 
crashes. 

A search through the KDE sources, including extragear showed that there 
is no KDE application that is using KSplashScreen... :-(

I tried the following in the QMainWindow class:
1. in the ctor:
      quantaApp = new QuantaApp(mdiMode); //the main window
      KSplashScreen *sp = new KSplashScreen(UserIcon("quantalogo_be"), 
WStyle_StaysOnTop | WX11BypassWM);
      sp->show();
      setMainWidget(quantaApp);
      slotInit(); //here are the time expensive operations

2. at the end of slotInit():
  delete sp;

putting sp->finish(quantaApp) after setMainWidget() or sp->hide() before 
delete sp crashes the application and indicates that sp is NULL.

Does anyone know how should I use this class correctly?

Andras
