Description Terence Simpson 2009-10-18 18:03:21 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

When Qt is not initialized and a static method of a QObject is called, ruby crashes.
First reported on Launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebindings/+bug/454597

Example with irb:
$ irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'Qt4'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> Qt::SystemTrayIcon::isSystemTrayAvailable()
(irb):2: [BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [i486-linux]

Aborted

This bug is not so much about the method not working as Ruby crashing, it should ideally post an error message indicating and error rather than crashing.
