Hey Eric, Thanks for the response. We are actually using PySide so I'm more curious if the current issue we are having is the same in PyQt. I can't say if it relates to QStrings necessarily. Basically it seems you can put Soft in an unstable state and if any Python exception gets thrown while in that state, you'll see the desktop.
