  Okay, so, this seems not to be so simple as it appears to be. While making the variable `static` does help with destructing it on `exit()` call, however it causes some other crash when konsole exits. I can only guess.
  
  Since fixing a crash is an urgent thing, and I don't have time right now to delve into why declaring QApplication as `static` causes another crash, I'm okay with reverting the commit as temporary workaround. @sandsmark I think though, to make sure nobody gonna commit such code again, it would help to add a comment just above `auto app = new QApplication(argc, argv);`, explaining why it's there. E.g. `// allocate it on the heap so we can destroy it on exit() for the KDBus workaround`.
  
  And then, the following comment is confusing, it was the sole reason nobody noticed anyting wrong when RAII refactor happened. All it actually says is simply "we've used `new` to allocate the variable, so let's not forget to call `delete`". It's better to get rid of it entirely:
  
    // Since we've allocated the QApplication on the heap for the KDBusService workaround,
    // we need to delete it manually before returning from main().
