Freezing the system and crashing are never features. Therefore, we must 
conclude that it is a bug somewhere.

If the bug is in the kernel / DRM / nouveau driver, then the bug needs to be 
fixed there. Qt should not work around it. That said, there might be *another* 
bug in Qt.

If your system freezes, then please file the bug report to nouveau.

By the way, I've heard that the nouveau driver has had some recent bugfixes. 
Please make sure you're running Linux 3.7 at least.
