[PyQt] QApplication.clipboard() segfault on GNU/Linux

[BPL]

To really understand this I'd suggest you also reading these 2 related
posts:

That said, with the current latest pyqt you can guarantee the data copied
into the clipboard will be preserved
by using a QApplication context manager, like this:

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication

if __name__ == '__main__':
    FORCE_BUG = True

    if not FORCE_BUG:
        with QApplication([]) as app:
            clipboard = app.clipboard()
            clipboard.setText("azerty")
            print(QApplication.instance().clipboard().text())
            print(app.clipboard().text())
            print(clipboard.text())
    else:
        app = QApplication([])
        clipboard = app.clipboard()
        clipboard.setText("azerty")
        print(QApplication.instance().clipboard().text())
        print(app.clipboard().text())
        print(clipboard.text())

Ideally it wouldn't be necessary to use any context manager at all... but
not sure how difficult would be for Phil
to provide that behaviour :/
