From the conversation in the linked thread, it looks like Qt tried to create a 
dialog that is too wide, so COGL failed to create the OpenGL texture. Then it 
crashed.

Workaround: limit the width of your dialog.

Fix: get the window manager to stop crashing. It can force Qt to accept a 
smaller size.
