I have created a very simple OpenGL application which displays a spinning textured cube. Everything works fine except that it crashes when minimizing the window. I've tracked down the error to the call to glClear(), but I've no idea why it's this function call which fails.
I've commented out several lines of code which do the actual rendering of the cube but the error still occurs.

cubewidget.h:

  1. #ifndef CUBEWIDGET_H

  10. {

  16. 	protected:

  19. 		void resizeGL(int width, int height);

  21. 	public slots:
  22. 		void rotateOneStep();
  23.  
  24. 	private:
  25. 		float rot;

  28. };
  29. #endif
