[PyKDE] QListView(Item) subclass insertItem strange behaviou

[marvelan L]

In my real code (not this test) I try to call methods of my own
class and they fail as the object is of wrong type. So I'm sure
that the methods are called with the wrong type of object. So
the python __class__ seems to be really runtime inspection and
returns the real thing...

So, I'm pretty sure that the QListViewItem.insertItem is called
with a QListViewItem and not my own sub class...

I tried to look at the PyQt code to see if I could make something
out of it. I couldn't.
