Hmm, I always put eventFilter() in the class, where I installed it, and 
that's what the o parameter is for (in my understanding). Note, that I 
derive such code from C++ examples, which is quite easy, thanks to 
Phils tight adaption of Qt via the powers of sip.

I cannot explain these effects, sorry. See below.

If you want to consume this event, return True, otherwise False.

You finally reached the point, where a minimum self containing example 
script would be most helpful.
