Instantiating a QPixmap in a server application causes a crash

Creating a QPixmap from an application built around QCoreApplication causes a segfault. On X11, the crash is in QX11PixmapData::resize, which is natural as there is no X11 context when a QCoreApplication is used.

Does this mean that an application using the QtGui module cannot be based around QCoreApplication?

When trying the alternative approach, i.e. QApplication a(argc, argv, false), to avoid connecting to the X11 server, I still get a crash, but this time from QX11Info::appDepth.

I've attached a minimal example which replicates the crash.
