That is it.  The code below shows the way, I guess.

Now, I found MySplitter.event() is called when I resize, hide, maximize 
or minimize widget, but MySplitter.event() and 
MySplitter.mouseDoubleClicked() are not called.  I am trying to hide a 
child widget when double-clicking on a splitter (separator or whatever 
you call the long lectangular stuff between child widgets), as in 
Mozilla's side bar.

How can I detect mouse events on the splitter widget?

########
from qt import *
class MySplitter(QSplitter):
    def event(self, e):
        print "#", e
        return QSplitter.event(self, e)
    def mouseDoubleClickEvent(self, e):
        print "*", e
        QSplitter.mouseDoubleClickEvent(self, e)
app = QApplication([])
s = MySplitter()
app.setMainWidget(s)
QWidget(s)
QWidget(s)
s.show()
app.exec_loop()
########

Phil told me that the code works fine to him.  I wonder it is platform 
dependent.
