I delete all top-level widgets, flush all the events 
(qApp.processEvents()), and run an explicit gc.collect() pass. I 
actually don't know what else to do...

I start to believe that it's a Qt problem rather than a PyQt's one; eg: 
some globals somewhere in the focus code that is not reset by 
QApplication's destructor and still points to some destroyed object.

I'll have a further look.
