[PyKDE] setMouseTracking

[Maxim Olivier-Adlhoch]

hi,

I have both and... neither of them "work"

I am editing the canvas.py file directly (I'm not even opening the qt designer ui for the canvas tests, I don't really need it)...


I receive mouse events ok...but there are no mouse move events unless I press any of the three buttons on my mouse... :-(
