If you call sys.exit() in Python it always raises a SystemExit
exception. Does that happen here? If so, you can trap it and cancel
it or whatever you need to do. Is there a way you can cause
SystemExit to be raised? (I'm not sure if this happens at program
termination without an explicit sys.exit() call).

That might also be a solution for the other people with
destructor-call problems. Then again, it might not.

Alternatively, can you have soemthing set a flag if QApplication
launches successfully? For example:

app = QApplication (...)

...

while True:
    app.exec_loop ()
    if flag:
        break
    <do something to fix whatever
     caused app.exec_loop() to 
     exit early>

You can subclass QApplication or install a temporary eventHandler if
necessary.
