[PyQt] Possible display bug with editable QTreeWidgetItem on Linux

I tried with several different styles: 
(cleanlooks, windows, motif, platinium, cde, plastique...)
and they all seem to work perfectly.

But the native style on my system is GTK, and this:
    python pyqt_test.py -style gtk
produces the same problem I described.

So yes, it definitely seems like this issue comes from the GTK style.
