QT5 QApplication Crashes When There is No Monitor

I am running a Qt Desktop Application on CentOS 6.4 with Qt 5 Libraries.

When I start the application from VNC/Teamviewer, as some of our servers do not have monitors, the application crashes. Starting from:

Code:

---

QApplication a(argc, argv);

---

I have tracked this down to a core file call qxcbconnection.cpp and the line:

Code:

---

xcb_create_window(m_connection, XCB_COPY_FROM_PARENT,
                  m_connectionEventListener, m_screens.at(0)->root(),
                  0, 0, 1, 1, 0, XCB_WINDOW_CLASS_INPUT_ONLY,
                  m_screens.at(0)->screen()->root_visual, 0, 0);

---

The problem is, if there is no monitor connected, then m_screens is empty, and therefore causes an "index out of bounds" error.

My question is: Is there a way to get around this? I have tried editing the Qt5 library files but that does nothing (acts like nothing has changed at all even when I delete the function call). I need to keep the GUI, as I log on constantly to view graphical meters and output on the GUI.
