Hmm, shouldn't this code behave in the same way too, than:

    void paintEvent(QPaintEvent* event)
    {
        QPainter p(this);
        QPen pn=p.pen();
        pn.setWidth(2);

Ahh, I see. Thanks.

Mind throwing the attached progress.py into examples3? Apart from a bunch of 
fixes, a few different default settings and menu shortcuts it much more 
resembles the current Qt version now (functional and visual wise).
