Attached is an example, and it got even weirder.

1) It doesn't depend on actually using the QIcon, only on creating it before 
there's a QApplication.

2) On windows you can't do that. (gives an error "Must construct a 
QApplication before a QPaintDevice" which looks reasonable to me) [Qt 4.4.1]

3) On Arch Linux I get cutoff menus and small fonts on the QTreeView [4.4.1]

4) On KUbuntu I get smaller fonts on the QTreeView but no cutoff menus [4.4.0]

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. 
Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, 
by definition, not smart enough to debug it. --Brian W. Kernighan
