This bug is in Qt. Clicking on links withing a QLabel widget will cause it to print out that error. You should probably consider reporting this to Qt and not Ubuntu.

I can reproduce this bug simply by creating a GUI app with a QLabel holding a simple link. Make sure to also set "openExternalLinks" to "true" otherwise links wont work at within your Qlabel. Clicking this link will trigger the exact same error as you've got.

This was tested with Qt 5.2.2 (compiled in 20 January 2014).
