[Eric] Crash when on Settings/Preferences

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hi,

beginning of April Simon Edwards gave the following tip in the PyQt mailing 
list.

Put the following lines in your PyKDE4/__init__.py 
file in your Python installation's site-packages directory. (typically 
/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PyKDE4/__init__.py).

     import sys,DLFCN
     sys.setdlopenflags(DLFCN.RTLD_NOW|DLFCN.RTLD_GLOBAL)

I did this and the dialogs work even with the Oxygen style.

Regards,
Detlev
