It's derived from QAbstractItemModel, but I forgot to call
QAbstractItemModels' __init__ with the parent. Sorry for the noise.

BTW: Do you have any idea why I can't call model() right after
setModel()? I get a None object back. It works when I do have a global
reference to the model, but not if I create the Model right inside the
setModel call.
