Ouch, thanks for the reminder, I didn't notice the reference to the tutorial
in your original message... that's an ugly one indeed.

Seems garbage collection check is broken for classes with multiple inheritance
(Qt::Slider is both a Qt::Widget and Qt::RangeControl)
Will fix asap.

The Slider shouldn't be garbage collected, that's definetly a bug.

Now for your question, the proper way of keeping data inside a PerlQt class
on a per-instance basis is to use Qt::attributes (try reading the PerlQt 
programming tutorial on that subject, please)

Qt::attributes are shorthands to the corresponding entries in the object's 
hash (as in traditional Perl OO, but with compile time checking)
