Exactly, Maskim (and I) pointed out that there *is* no copy.
AFAICS, it would be enough to detach the QImage, alas detach() is internal.
How about

QImage* i = new QImage((const QRgb *)data, w, h, QImage::Format_ARGB32_Premultiplied);
(void)i.bits(); // detach from data

if the above is the actual code?

BTW: It probably works with OpenGL for you, because OpenGL is another
client/server system, i.e. the data is copied into an OpenGL-managed
area (possibly even the graphics card's memory).
