[PyKDE] Odd window behavior when embedding ActiveX controls

[greg Landrum]

[Win2K, Python22, PyQt 3.5 (as distributed with BlackAdder)]

I'm working on embedding ActiveX controls in PyQt windows and I see some 
completely reproducible weirdness in the display.  This screenshot 
demonstrates the problem:

The window has an instance of the IE ActiveX control which has been told to 
load www.python.org.  In the upper left corner of the window there is a 
gray box which is displayed over the plugin.

Information about the gray box:
- it does not go away on refreshing or resizing the window
- it prevents events from making it to the control underneath; i.e. mouse 
clicks in the gray box are not received by IE, mouse clicks elsewhere get 
through just fine.
- it's not just an IE thing, if I embed other controls I see exactly the 
same thing.

A very stripped down file containing what I think is the bare minimum to do 
the embedding is here:

I'm hoping that this is something really stupid that I've missed.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
