QObject (and QCoreApplication) doesn't impose such a limitation, no, you
can have them in the heap or stack. I'd be really surprised, though, if you
don't get the same segfault at the point of the delete call. If you mean
that you just don't free it up, however, then that's a major code smell.

outlives the application (probably a global). This is not allowed, and as
Thiago already said you must clean up before the Q*Application's
destructor's run.
