The static methods + members has been maintained from the "big switch" to be a singleton. I'm not actually sure on what are the implications of moving from the QWeakPointer (deleting them in dtor) to the QScopedPointer class (deleting them... when?).
I just think that, for cleaness of the Application class code, they should be completely removed. This anyway will force the other classes to use something like "Application::instance()->historyManager()" or similar.
That's it. Tell me what you think it's better.
