I'm still alittle new to PyQt but I'll throw a couple of things
at you anyway......

First it would be nice to see just a wee-bit more code, like the
class that your making an instance of, the first few init lines
anyhow.

Second, I personally would use non-modal dialogs, for what your trying
to do. But you might be already, can't tell from posted function.
If you are already using non-modal dialogs, then thats why we need to see
the first few lines from the class your calling and how your passing 
the parms to the inhertited classes.
