Ah, yes, I have already seen similar situations where the possibiity of using the Quit menu on OS X was clearly something that the application didn't foresee. I must admit I have been shrugging that off.

According to Frank's blog:

```
If was deleted during the exec(), exec() will return QDialog::Rejected.
```

Isn't that still the case? I was counting on it, and if it is true my modification should be fine (and have the advantage of being less complex). The code doesn't use `dlg` if `exec()` returned anything other than `QDialog::Accepted`.

Also: DrKonqi doesn't seem to register on the DBus at all. At least not under its own name (there's just a ToDo note about implementing a proper DBus interface, who knows how old).

Those are the easy and straightforward ones fixed by this patch.

Both Apple's clang "6.0.0" and gcc 5.3 (on Linux) refused statements like `QWeakPointer<QFileDialog> dlg = new QFileDialog(parent,defname);` . My initial attempt was to follow the documentation for QWeakPointer, and do `QWeakPointer<QFileDialog> dlg = QSharedPointer<QFileDialog>(new QFileDialog(parent,defname));` but that caused a crash as soon as I clicked on the "save backtrace as" button - on both platforms.

In the end I tested using QFileDialog (and `QFileDialog::selectedUrls()` as kate5 does, and that works (on OS X and Linux).

Is that actually a possibility, and why wouldn't it be in Kate? Are there no other ways to prevent it, or check for its occurrence?
