[PyQt] QSplashScreen and windows

[Darryl Wallace]

Has anyone had trouble getting splash screen to display properly in 
Windows?  I imagine this is a Qt problem and not a PyQt problem but I 
thought I would ask here as well as Qt support.

I have written a code like this:
##########################
from PyQt4 import QtGui, Qt

import sys
import os
from time import sleep
import resources

progname = "MainWindow"

if __name__ == "__main__":
    qApp = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
  
   
    splash=QtGui.QSplashScreen(QtGui.QPixmap(
                ":"+"resources/main_logo.png"),
                Qt.Qt.WindowStaysOnTopHint)
    splash.showMessage("Loading %s..."%progname)
    splash.show()
   
    splash.raise_()
    ####
    #### Import the main application window
    ####
    from mainwindow import MainWindow
    splash.raise_()
    aw = MainWindow(progname)
    splash.raise_()
    aw.show()
    splash.raise_()
    aw.raise_()
    splash.raise_()
    splash.raise_()
    splash.raise_()
    splash.raise_()
    splash.raise_()
    splash.raise_()
    sleep(1)                  # add a little sleep.  if the mainwindow 
loads super quickly,
                                    # splash screen quits on aw and you 
barely see it
    splash.finish(aw)
    aw.raise_()
    sys.exit(qApp.exec_())

##########################

as you can see, some frustration has led to repeatedly trying to raise 
the splash screen to the highest level on the screen.

This code works fine under linux (even without all of the 
splash.raise_() calls).

Using PyQt4.4.2, Qt 4.4.0, Ubuntu 8.04, and any kind of Windows >= Win2k pro

Any one else have this problem?

Thanks,
Darryl
