Assuming everyone follows the same design pattern of following QWindow::hideEvent everyone calling deleteLater() would be safe, but it relies on all parties dealing with surfaces to do that. No it wouldn't, because KWin doesn't behave like Qt. KWin does not delete a surface when a window gets hidden, but reuses it. Basically KWin behaves exactly as Qt used to, the pattern was taken from QtWayland. Now this diverged. A possibility could be QSharedPointer, so that every user can discard it's own instance, but that requires also changes all over the place.
