Hi,

This was inadvertently introduced in r249 which implements a portable
mode for TeXworks. The function producing your error was added in Qt 4.4
(I guess you have a pre-4.4 version). I've posted a patch at
http://code.google.com/p/texworks/issues/detail?id=95 that should solve
this problem. (It's not in the svn repository yet but you can try it out
by downloading issue-95-disable-portability-for-older-qt.diff to your
texworks src/ directory and then executing `patch <
issue-95-disable-portability-for-older-qt.diff`)
