Or maybe it is just me.

Let's see it one more time. One thing is the minimal script attached
to this thread and other thing is the real code. In the script
connecting/disconnecting the signal has the only mission of reproduce
the buggy behavior of the real code. The script would work just fine
without connecting/disconnecting, that's clear for everybody. The real
code is different because there the connect/disconnect trick is
meaningful. Please, note that I'm not saying that
connecting/disconnecting is the only solution to my problem. As I've
already said I'm looking for alternatives or workarounds. It is just
that I've not yet  found a clean alternative for solving my problem.

On the other hand what is clear for me is that even if the attached
script is absurd, stupid or useless, if I'm suspicious that it
contains a PyQt4 bug I have to report it here. This is exactly what
I've done. If Phil see a bug I hope he will fix it (so my real code
will work as is until I find a better design), if not I simply will
keep looking for a solution to my problem.

I hope things are clearer now (if they are not then I'm in trouble :-)
