The basic problem is that the QApplication object is only meant to be
instantiated once for the lifetime of the application, which is what
happens during the normal execution of OpenLP, but during testing, the
QApplication is created and destroyed many times and references to the
object may not always be torn down between tests. I personally suspect
(though I have not had a chance to fully investigate) that the
Settings object or some of the singleton objects may be keeping
references to the QApplication object. (for instance, I know that the
Registry singleton is explicitly given a reference to the QApplication
object and I don't think the Registry object is destroyed between
tests). This makes it very difficult to pinpoint the actual point of
failure for a test because the point of failure may be caused as a
side effect of another test failing to tear the environment down
properly. (i.e. one that initialized the Registry and gave it a
QApplication reference, but did not reset the Registry).

Aha. You might be onto something here. I'm not sure how well we reset the Registry object, if at all, during tests.
