[PyKDE] autoAdding buttons to a grid

Ahhh.. Ok I see.  Yeah thats a much better way.  I just had my head
around it wrong.
I don't know that I'm going to be able to fully determine _all_ the
various permutations possible and have that number of groupboxes handy
but I should be able to figure out most of them.  I still think I'll
have to re-create one or two since you can't shrink a grid once
created but we will see.

Over the past few nights I've spent a _lot_ of time buried in the Qt
docs and googleing for things.  I did read and look at most of those
tutorials.  The problem was that I was looking for the wrong stuff and
examples of trying to do the wrong things.

I just needed knowledgeable person like yourself to enlighten me with
a slight smack up side the head and show me the Qt way. *grin*  Thats
one of the reasons I continued to post my findings on this thread as
it seemed like what I was trying to do was just way too hard. 
Hopefully the archives will help the next soul who trys to head down
my same path.

Thanks. I'll check it out. When I started this thread I was thinking
that I just wasn't doing somthing right in pyQt but now I see it was
totally a Qt thing.
