[PyQt] Problems with QSystemTrayIcon

[Philippe Fremy]

Hi,

I am having problem to get QSystemTrayIcon to work. I am running on
windows XP and I never see any notification messages.

My setup: windows XP, PyQt 4.3.3, python 2.5

See my attached simplified code, that runs standalone. Any idea what I
could be doing wrong ?

cheers,

Philippe
