[PyKDE] Proper way to show multiple windows?

[star gazer]

Ken,
 
I did the isModal() check and it returned 0 but using
nw.show() does not leave the window up it just flashes
away.  If I use nw.exec_loop() then the window stays
up but I can't open another on.  This was so easy to
do in wxpython.  It must be as easy here I just can't
figure it out
