Hi,
I had somehow similar problems with closing and destructing windows in Qt 1.x.
What I did wrong was assuming that I have to take care of cleaning up the heap.
So for each window I had classmembers with pointers to all the child widgets
and did 'delete' on each of them in parent's destructor. It worked sometimes,
it segfaulted in other cases. It proves that Qt takes care of destructing child
widgets when destructing parent so there's no need to do it yourself. The cases
in which it segfaulted where when Qt decided to delete one of the children
before killing parent... in this way parent's destructor called a delete on
defunc pointer. Does it seem to be relevant to your problem ?
