It seems a bit dubious that you have an initializeGL() function that 
will be called both by QGLWidget and by your own code, in different 
contexts. Also calling the function paintGL() is a bit confusing since 
QGLWidget also has a paintGL() with a different signature, but that 
shouldn't really be an issue.

Which Qt version? Maybe as you say QGLPixelBuffer is forgetting to do 
some clean up, though it _could_ also be a bug in the GL driver.

deleteTexture resulting in warnings shouldn't really happen, sounds like 
a bug.

Btw, GL draw lists are not really recommended for use these days.

Alternatively you can report the issues you find to the bug tracker and 
help fix them in Qt, if you're capable of rewriting it yourself in the 
first place.
