QtCreator crashes when screen resolution is changed

[Vaclav Petras]

1. Start QtCreator
2. Go to Displays and change the resolution (and Apply)
3. QtCreator crashes

This happens to me on Ubuntu 15.10 but I think I observed that on Lubuntu as well. I'm not sure but it might be related to Qt-based applications in general as I remember vaguely same behavior of some terminal application which I think was Qt-based. However, this does not happen with KDE applications, for example Kile survives the change. QtCreator fails regularly.

I have also experienced blank (black) screen when staring qtcreator from command line. After few seconds, I got screen back with default settings (like after hitting Apply in Displays).
