Problem found thanks to your questions. It was caused by a parent object given 
to the dialog, which was not created from Python code. The protected methods 
(slots) called by the dialog were accept() and reject(). How a non Python 
created parent influences this is unclear to me. Maybe this should be 
mentioned in the PyQt docs.
