If these were self-written programs that might really be the case,
however this is with the examples and I can't see any sign for improper
QApplication initialization in bigtable.py or smalltable.py. I also
don't think Phil has different versions of the examples for X11 and Mac
so I'd say something in PyQt3 is going wrong on that Mac.

Qt3 and Qt4 act the same here, they refuse to work when you try to
create a widget without first creating a QApplication. In any case here
the examples look OK and work OK.
