[Eric] Seg Fault On Opening Dialog Box

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hello again,

can you be a bit more specific about which kind of dialogs cause a segfault? 
The file dialog should not be in the list because on Linux platforms I am 
calling it with the "QFileDialog.DontUseNativeDialog" flag set.

This was done in the past because there were such kind of issues with the 
native KDE dialog (but that was looong ago, but I never reverted it).

PS: This can be seen in E5Gui.E5FileDialog.
