There is a problem with the KPopupFrame in kdatelbl.h/.cpp when used in PyKDE (haven't tried it in C++). It produces a window with WType_Popup set, so it behaves similarly to a popup menu - if you click outside the KPopupFrame window it disappears and should destroy itself, even if run with exec (exec_ in PyKDE due to the keyword conflict), and return to the caller.
However, close() never returns to the caller until application exit, at which time it finds the underlying C++ object instance no longer exists, so it crashes on exit. You should be able to subclass KPopupFrame and overload close (), but close() itself is overloading virtual int QFrame::close (bool) with void KPopupFrame::close(int), and sip virtual handling code will crash unless your overloaded Python close() returns an int instead of None (for void). What I did instead for the app I'm writing was just completely convert KPopupFrame from C++ to Python, which is fairly easy - it's not a complex class. I still need to look into how to fix KPopupFrame - might be an error in how I've written the sip file too. There are several ways to make it work more reliably from Python. ------------------------- I have the KDE 3.3beta1 rpms downloaded and a machine setup for them, but I haven't found time to install them. It should only take a day or two to test out the PyKDE version that supports the beta, but I'm in the middle of writing some code I have to get done, so it may take a while to get to a snapshot release of PyKDE. If someone has an urgent need, let me know and I'll try to work it in earlier.
