[PyKDE] Eric3: Usability and debugging questions

[Suleyman Karabuk]

In (1) below I meant vertical space between lines.

Also, if it helps, my configuration is as below on a
Suse 9.3 linux system:

Python 2.4
KDE 3.4.0 Level "b" 
PyKDE 3.11.3
Qt 3.3.4
PyQt 3.13
sip 4.1.1
QScintilla 1.4
Eric 3.7.1
Bicycle Repair Man CVS-20041120
