[PyKDE] Newbie pyQt user needs some slot help

[Phil Thompson]

QPopupMenu::exec() isn't a slot, it's just a member function.  You could
sub-class a QPopupMenu with a Python method called (say) showMenu which
does something like...

	def showMenu(self):
		self.exec_loop()

...and connect to it...

QObject.connect(but, SIGNAL("clicked()"), pm.showMenu)
