[PyKDE] Debugging a segfault in Linux

[Andy Anderson]

Wow, that's an oldie. I think eventually solved my problem by using 
deleteLater() to explicitly delete widgets, instead of just 'myObj =None' 
or 'del myObj'.

If I remember right, there were two issues:

1) It turned out that in some cases I was deleting an object while 
processing a signal involving the object or a child of the object 
(probably a bad idea).
2) There still seemed to be some inexplicable cases where Qt's bookkeeping 
was getting messed up.

Using deleteLater() seemed to fix everything. I suggest using it if you're 
deleting widgets, especially inside any event or signal handling.
