It did, but I do not understand what is different now. I think the main point is this snippet from your message: "The problem is that QApplication::exit() was called somewhere during LyX::ref().exec2() which caused the QApplication instance to disappear. The static trick enabled us to make this instance persistent across functions." We still call QApplication::exit() in LyX::exec2() if something goes wrong. The destruction of the Application object does still happen after calling LyX::exec2(), so why are the problems gone? BTW, you should now merge LyX::exec2 with LyX::pricv_exec(). exec2 was only created to be able to use the Application object as an autonatic variable and is not needed anymore. Georg
