Hello Eli,

I think I spotted the problem, I hope my explanation is sufficient.

- - create is called with connector instance
- - ui instance (ui) is loaded
- - attributes are copied over from ui to Connection (but only, if they do not
exist in Connector)
- - for every connection in ui, Qt.connect is setup that in a way so that methods
in Connector (!) are called

Now, if the button is clicked in ui, it calls Connector.close, which itself
calls Connector.closeEvent, which prints out its message.
If the window close button is clicked, ui.close is called, which calls
ui.closeEvent (<- not overridden!).
To solve this problem (in a hackish manner), you would also have to copy over
the overridden event handlers from Connector to ui. Anyway, I'm not convinced
that this is good style. There should be a better solution for run-time
generated UI files, but it involves a more sophisticated approach.

Anybody in for good ideas, so I don't have to think too much?

greetings

Torsten
