[PyKDE] Problem with PyQt4

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hi,

I would rather leave the current "Filter" variants. However, the 
"selectedFilter" parameter should be settable to select a filter in the list 
and the method should return a tuple as it does right now. I always found the 
old way a bit strange (create a QString, pass it in to the method and getting 
back the selected string). The current solution with the mentioned extension 
would be much clearer.
