[PyKDE] pyQt on windows

[Vio]

QTextEdit.
Now, keep in mind that I'm kind'a new on the PyQt scene. And I don't use 
Qt's network or db classes either, just the UI stuff. But anyways, my 
little code "essay" of last weekend was all essentially based on 
QTextEdit. Nowhere to be found on the free-QtWin install (now, 
installing on Win, that was a joy, as opposed to looong compiles on 
Linux). So I did replace it with QTextBrowser (I don't know if it was 
the right choice), as well as a few other edits: commented out 
'QAction.setAccel()' as I recall, also I couldn't set cursors as in 3.x, 
and a few other annoying edits. In the end, yes I managed to make my 
code run, I mean, no showstoppers but still crippled. But somehow I 
couldn't find the nice "feeling" and look I have on Linux. I figured 
it's because of the 2.0 to 3.0 evolution. So it's the little things: now 
I remember I couldn't set icons on my Tab widgets. And I had some 
problems with QTables, but I forgot details.

So maybe on the 'fundamental functionality' you are right, one can live 
with Qt 2.0, I don't know 2.0 that well anyway to make a good opinion. 
But we're talking about UI here, where it's all the little things than 
count. Well, for me the difference seemed huge, and if I had the dow, 
sure I'd get me the latest Qt for Win ... provided that was my preferred 
platform to 'romance the snake'.

Cheers,
Vio
