Or a caching issue. Some libraries cache stuff in a per-user cache (often in ~/.cache). There's one Qt application upon which I rely where the UI occassionally stops rendering. It worked fine if you logged in as a new user, but wiping your config, logout, reboot, etc and allowing it to default didn't help. I actually switched over completely to a new use account once to avoid the problem. Later, I figured out all I had to do was "rm -rf ~/.cache/<something>".
