[PyKDE] QTable Behaviour

[Andreas Pauley]

Just for clarification, the "weird behaviour" is that it seems as if the 
QTable loses cursor focus, and I cant edit a cell unless I double-click on 
it.

I just saw a setCurrentCell() method, I'll try that instead of editCell()

If I want to reference a column, where do I start counting?
The column numbers doesn't seem to start at 0 or 1.
