Ah now I have another problem.  It seems when I delete the parent there is a 
race condition between python removeing my object for me and my memory 
cleanup.  About 75% of the time python wins and I get QObject double object 
deletion warning, but on the 25% of the time that python loses the object is 
deleted and python has a conniption.  Is there a way to force python to just 
deal, and assume I know what i am doing?  I have seen talk of this before 
about adding a PY_XINCREF in your sip file for the constructor of the object 
and a PY_XDECREF of the destructor.  Is this correct?

Thanks
