I also suspect that the display corruption problem at least is a bug
with Qt/PyQt on OS X.

I believe this is due to a difference with how OS X handles windows
and dialogs. Parent windows can never be displayed on top of child
dialogs [1], while on Windows (and possibly Linux) they are all
treated as peers.

[1] - Unless AlwaysOnTop is set, which simply reverses the behavior:
child dialogs are always behind parent window.

My setup is totally standard OS X 10.6.4 on MacBook Air Rev B, save
for 64-bit Python 3.1.
