[PyQt] QFileDialog problem (native: fast but no input field; non-native: has input field but slow)

["V. Armando Solé"]

Hi,

I am using newer versions of Qt (4.5.3 and 4.6.2) and I also have the 
same problem.

I observe the problem mainly under windows when one is using mounted 
network disks.

The only hint I have found is:

Best regards,

Armando
