Problem with example: Desktop/Systray on Windows

[mponweiser]

Ok, so I am running:
Windows 7 / Python 2.7.5 / QT 4.8.6 / PySide 1.2.2, and I tried this repo's example in desktop called systray. Running the binary from the "QT Examples and Demos" launcher was without problems, but launching systray.py did not show the embedded .SVG icons within the icon list and neither in the system tray. I found a related topic on SO and added:

 from PySide import QtSvg, QtXml

to systray.py, which at least now shows the icons. However, when I run both the PySide and binary versions side by side, the "Heart" icon is rendered distorted in the PySide version. I guess that means I should set up the renderer correctly?

My main issue is that this should be noted somewhere in the example's documentation, because I assumed the these examples would run flawlessly out of the box. I would be glad to do that however I am still a PySide-noob :)

This example crashes Python for me, on my Windows 7, Python 2.7.6, Qt 4.8.5, PySide 1.2.2 (just get python.exe has stopped working). When I run in PyCharm, in addition to crashing, it lets me know that Process finished with exit code -1073741819 (0xC0000005). I figure within a month or so I will be competent enough to fix this myself, just wanted to put it out there in case there is an obvious fix.
