Bug Description

I tried a variety of python-qt4 based application on Ubuntu Quantal with Unity and they all crash using all the memory until the system dies or the application is killed.

Application I tried:
hplip-toolbox, anki, calibre, eric, trimage

They crash at the moment the main window start painting.

Ken, that seems due to the scrollbars, could you check with Cimi?

Moving back to new for python-qt4, since there's no root cause identified.
