[PyKDE] PyQt4 Questions

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hi,

I have a dialog, that creates a new dialog and shows it. The code is like

self.dlg = MyDialog(self)
dlg.show()

This code is part of a slot. Whenever this code is hit, a new dialog is 
created with destroying the old one. I thought, that the garbage collector 
should take care of deleting the old one.

Same thing happens with nonmodal dialogs spawned from the QMainWidget. When 
closing the application, I have to close every single dialog, that was 
displayed via the show() method, individually.

Additionally I have seen this strange behavior. If I create the dialog above 
with self as a parent, the dialog containing the slot is put behind all other 
windows.

Another observation is, that the newly generated dialog (using the above code) 
is put centered on top of the generating dialog. I expected the window 
manager to take care of the placement.

The last observation is, that the generating dialog is always behind the 
generated dialog. I cannot bring it into the foreground.

What am I doing wrongly?
