What happens if you make this

KJanusWidget *wid = new KJanusWidget(0,0,KJanusWidget::TreeList);

and change '&wid' into 'wid' resp. 'wid.' into 'wid->' accordingly?

Also, what does valgrind output?

My suspicion is that the main widget is deleted twice here, although looking 
at my (rather old) qt-copy checkout I can't see this confirmed.

Another option is that deleting wid on shutdown goes wrong for objects on the 
stack. If you make wid a pointer and delete it, does that make a difference 
with 'leaking' the object by not deleting?

If you make the KApp a pointer instead, does it make a difference if you 
delete the app before or after the widget? In your example I wonder in what 
order both on-stack objects are deleted by the compiler. FIFO or LIFO ?
