You got my attention enough that I wanted to look into it (although I'm
totally *not* worthy of even attempting to fix stuff in Qt, nor do I have
the time for it). I am pretty close to the scenario above. Fresh Win7, just
installed the driver for my Intuos4 half an hour ago, fired up QtC 2.5.2
(revision  f25dadf80e) as well as QtC 2.4.1 (revision 8cd370e163). Made a
QtQuick UI project for Qt 4.8.1 MSVC desktop.
Alt-tabbing like crazy yielded no crash, neither for QtC 2.4.1 nor 2.5.2.
That was the excepted outcome, right?
Can you help me getting there, perhaps? I've played with the pen while
fooling around in QtC too.

Incidently, for the project I am currently implementing for a company, I
switched back from QtC 2.5 to QtC 2.4 exactly due to a huge amount of
crashes (and, I think, qml-related as in crashes when switching to the QML
designer). But as said, the Intuos driver was installed half an hour ago.
