Indeed. But I needed an example with a pointer. If you use a stack 
object, you'd obviously never have the problem of deleting it to begin 
with :-)

The point is, you *do* delete qApp *if* it's on the heap, but most 
people who do have qApp on the heap don't bother with delete, since the 
process exits anyway. Since in the OP's case the process doesn't exit, 
qApp should actually be deleted.
