Thanks, that method seems to exist, but it still isn't being called when I 
override it. Here's the test code:

class TestApplication(QApplication):
    def __init__(self, args):
        QApplication.__init__(self, args)
        
        self.mainwindow = MainWindow()
        self.maindialog = TestApp(None)
        
        self.maindialog.setupUi(self.mainwindow)
        
        self.mainwindow.show()
        
        self.exec_()
        
    def x11EventFilter(self, event):
        print event
        return True

The 'event' isn't ever being printed from x11EventFilter().

Thanks,
