Seems that QObjectCreator.addCustomWidget 
in /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PyQt4/uic/objcreator.py manages to find a 
class named KeywordTree in PyKDE4.kdeui. When that method is entered the data 
is all fine and when done it's wrong, ie when entering:

    widgetClass=KeywordTree baseClass=QTreeWidget module=keyword_tree

and when exiting:

    widgetClass=KeywordTree baseClass=QTreeWidget module=PyKDE4.kdeui

I haven't yet found what actually imports and PyKDE4 classes and why, because 
it sure ain't my code.

I'll try renaming my class to something totally different and see if PyQt then 
loads the class properly.
