[PyKDE] paint() and getting out of corners

[Rune Hansen]

Hi Jim, thanks for the code. This is in fact the exact same code I've
been struggling with for some time now(good to know I'm not totally lost
:-). According to the C++ examples I gather that  the class should be
initialized like this:

class CustomListBoxText(QListBoxText):
	def __init__(self,qlistbox_instance,qlistboxitem_text,<args>):
		QListBoxText.__init__(self,qlistbox_instance,qlistbox_text)

	def paint(self,<args>):
		...

No matter how I shuffle this my app always segfaults on calling paint()
I'm using stock RedHat 8.0 pyQt-3.3.2. I will try to compile the latest
& greatest pyQt tomorrow to see if it the segfault goes away.

thanks again
