Re: Perl-Qt4?

Ole,
Thanks for the reply. I think the problem is more fundamental than your 
solution suggests. Here is the code that crashes.

use strict;
use Qt;

my $a = Qt::Application(\@ARGV);

my $table = Qt::Table();
$table->setNumRows( int(1) );
$table->setNumCols( int(1) );
$table->setText(0,0,'Hello');

$a->setMainWidget($table);
$table->show;
# Uncomment out either of the next to lines to reproduce the problem
$table->setNumRows(0);
#$table->removeRow(0);

exit $a->exec;

gives
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x085b1c10 ***
Aborted

So if I can not add text to a table and then reduce the size of the table, I'm 
not show that it is usable.

Thanks again,

Joe
