This is a blocker for Q_GLOBAL_STATIC in many places of KDE. Many things must 
be cleaned up before QCoreApplication is gone (just see my latest commit to 
kdelibs/phonon).

Which is a regression - in KDE3 there were no KStaticDeleters without a 
KApplication, AFAIK.

I don't think KApplication is needed anymore at object destruction, but 
QCoreApplication often is.

Use Q_GLOBAL_STATIC and find a simple way to delete the static objects before 
QCoreApplication is gone.
