Thanks Matt, that did the trick.

Another question has come up. When implementing this in less sophisticated
Gui frameworks<http://aipytris.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/aipytris/boardtk.py>,
I noticed that the canvas remembered primitives that had already been
painted on it, so on each paint event I only had to paint blocks that had
moved since the previous paint event, which I assume is more efficient. With
my Qt version, however, I am repainting every block on every paint event,
even ones that have not moved. Is there some way around this? I've looked at
the painting examples and read http://doc.trolltech.com/4.3/paintsystem.html,
but I haven't found anything about whether QWidgets can retain state.

Thanks,
Josh
