Poking around a little more...
In the function plD_line_qt we are not getting past this statement:
#if defined(PLD_qtwidget) || defined(PLD_extqt)
if(widget==NULL) widget=dynamic_cast<QtPLWidget*>((QWidget *) pls->dev);
#endif
if(widget==NULL) return;
So the dynamic cast is not working for some reason?
printf(" %ld %ld\n", (long)pls->dev, (long)widget);
Suggests that pls->dev is valid, or at least not zero, but that widget
is still zero after the cast.
