	Ah-ha! I actually tried that, but I made a mistake; on the analogy of 
"selected(int)", I tried omitting the "QString &" part. So is it only safe to 
omit "index"? The documentation has the following:

void selected ( int index )
void selected ( const QString & )

Yet valid PyQt calls are:
"selected(int)"
"selected(const QString &)"

See my confusion? (Note that my knowledge of C++ is almost zilch, so forgive 
any errors of ignorance.)

	Perfect, although the fact that it is really an instance, and not a string, 
threw me off for a moment. It's easily fixed, however, by converting it to a 
string:

def listBoxItemSelected( self, index ):
        print d[str(index.text())]

Thanks!
