QObjects emit a(n unblockable) signal on destruction that allows you to e.g. 
unlist them at that moment so you won't try to delete a garbage pointer.
There's even a QPointer<T> class handling this for you so instead "QWidget *w" 
you can just use "QPointer<QWidget> w" and safely ask "if (w)" or "delete w" 
anytime then (as w will be NULL for destroyed objects)
