[Bug 1298767] [NEW] Cannot remove a layout on a QDockWidget

[Thomi Richards]

Public bug reported:

With PyQt4, it seems impossible to remove the default layout from a
QDockWidget.

I need to remove the default QLayout widget so I can add a new layout
(Qt won't let you add a new one while another one exists).

The attached script contains a minimal example that tries four different
strategies to remove the old layout. all of them segfault.
