(Somehow I received this with the  leftmost characters missing on every line - 
data compression?)

There was/is a problem with deletion order with C++ objects and Python objects 
wrapping them - I don't recall all of the details (some handwritten code was 
required though), but should probably take a look at it again. It's possible 
sip has changed in some way that affects this and I haven't updated for that.

Implementing the slots associated with closing and querying to close the main 
window/application seems to work though.
