This can be fixed by either embedding Qt’s gtk3 support code, or loading the
libqgtk3.so plugin and somehow calling its methods.

Both ways are quite hacky and likely to break when a new Qt release changes
something. There is the qgnomeplatform project [1] which went the embedding
way, and it did have such crashes.
