So with the current implementation that uses inheritance, there are 2 classes that have a `delayedDBusConnects` method which uses `QDBusConnection::sessionBus().connect()` to register things on the DBus. Both invoke that method explicitly from their ctor, and in general, with the inheritance/overriding going on I think I might be over-initialising certain things. I have modified the 2 `loadSettings` methods so that they only create new instances when `m_fontsData==0` (initialised in the respective ctors), so that should limit the redundancy.
Still I wonder if this isn't going to lead to DBus name conflicts (if the DBus connect method doesn't disconnect/reconnect)?
I also wonder if the crash-on-exit I just discovered in `kdebugdialog5` (but not in what few example KF5 applications I have at the moment) is related:
```

```
When I add some trace statements at relevant locations, I see this on the calling terminal:
```

```
the non-crashes don't call `KdeMacTheme::createPlatformSystemTrayIcon()`, so even if `kdebugdialog5` doesn't actually put up a systray icon/menu there must be some relation between that call and the crash.
I'd hope this is just a bug in `kdebugdialog5`, but it doesn't express itself when I don't use the KdePlatformTheme (`KdeMacTheme`)...

In my opinion it is above all the font customisation which is a very welcome feature for Qt/Mac; by default Qt applications use the default system font (Lucida Grande 13pt or even 14pt) throughout. This is a good UI font, but not at that size (and most "native" OS X applications indeed use a range of smaller sizes, depending on role.

> The fix is straightforward : on OS X (and similarly affected platforms?), an instance of the native Cocoa platform theme is created through the private API, and used as a fallback rather than immediately falling back to the default implementations from `QPlatformTheme`. In addition, methods missing from (not overridden by) `KdePlatformTheme` are provided on OS X and call the corresponding methods from the native theme. It is this change which restores the menubar and even the Dock menu functionality.
> One minor regression remains but should be easy to fix (elsewhere?): the Preferences menu loses its keyboard shortcut (Command-,).
>
> Given the fallback nature of the native platform instance I have preferred to print a warning rather than using something like `qFatal`, above all because the message printed by qFatal tends to get lost on OS X. I can replace my use of `qWarning` with a dialog giving the choice between continuing or exiting the application - code that would be called in the menu methods because only there is it certain that the application actually needs a menubar.
