but ?

I still think it's good practice to delete d-ptrs last O:^) but maybe there's even more and better reason to delete them first?


I suppose you checked if and how `m_menu` gets handled appropriately when using deleteLater (and also if there's indeed overhead to setMenu when called with a NULL pointer)?

This reparenting is getting to be a real PITA. I thought it only prevent QWidgetActions from being used in multiple menus, but I've been seeing "this item is already part of menu X" more and more, also for regular QAction instances ... and often it actually claims that the current and destination menus are the same. That last bit may mean that I made an error in adding detail to the error message, but may also correspond to a KDE "thing" to rebuild the same menu over and over again.

The backtrace suggested this might be due to a pending event (or an event due to the menu deletion) being delivered post-mortem to an instance of a QMenu related class.
