After you having committed your counter-patch (no pun intended ;-) ), I want 
to warm up this old thread.

You state that every render object may have a counter attached. Point taken. 
However, nearly no actual render object *does* have a counter. Hence this 
additional pointer amounts to a lot waste of space on large documents. 
Therefore, I propose to move the counter lists to a QPtrDict within 
DocumentImpl, and reference it from there. The memory and runtime overhead of 
the dict should be negligible compared to the memory overhead of an 
additional member in RenderObject.
