[PyKDE] dialog/mainwindow question

this is more or less as i figured.  i still, however, have been unable
to make the Dialog case behave, either by incorporating a QVBox to
lay its children out or by explicitly using a layout manager.

now, in this case, the application in question is a mail client, and
the dialog is for replying to a message.  so it's a little fuzzy, since
it's doing more than just clicking a few settings on or off.

my paper copy arrived yesterday.  i make extensive use of online books,
and always buy one to help support the effort.

thanks for making it available.
