Review request for rekonq.


Summary
-------

Hi,

I'm not 100% sure but I tend to think you must not set a QApplication as the parent of a BookmarkProvider.

I think the problem is that any BookmarkProvider has QWidgets in its tree of QObjects. Therefore, you will get problems when deleting the children because of this:
http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-16974

So I just deleted some objects in Application::~Application in order to make sure these objects are deleted before the QApplication. Just deleting the BookmarkProvider in Application::~Application would be enough to fix the crash here, but I'm deleting the other objects ...
1 ... because if now or in the future these objects had a QWidget in its object tree I think you might get a crash.
2 ... just in case.

By the way, I think the bug mentioned in this request was introduced in this commit 2b4efa406780920631af1166e79d54e54092322a

I have push permissions, if you give me the ok I will push this patch to 0.7-branch.


This addresses bug 269490.
