[PyKDE] Reimplementing QApplication.notify

[Konrad Hinsen]

A rather annoying feature of Qtopia applications is that they are
terminated whenever the user presses the Esc key. On the Zaurus
developer list, I got the tip that this feature could only be disabled
by reimplementing QPEAppliction.notify, as no lower level ever gets to
see the key press event. So I tried

   class MyApplication(QPEApplication):

       def notify(self, receiver, event):
	   if event.type() == QEvent.KeyPress and event.key() == Qt.Key_Escape:
	       pass
	   else:
	       return receiver.event(event)

   app = MyApplication(sys.argv)

but got nothing but the error message

   RuntimeError: No access to protected functions or signals for object
                 not created from Python

for the call to receiver.event(event).

Is there any way around this?
