Perhaps I'm going about this wrong. I want to simulate the user
selecting the first item (Or any item) in a combo box.
I don't need to pass it a text string, the strings are already in the
combo box. I just need to select it, so the signal I've connected to
the combo box activate signal gets fires off to the slot.

You need to use exactly the same signal name - in this case you connected
the combo box's signal to a Python slot with
self.connect(self.Names, QtCore.SIGNAL("activated(const QString &)"),
self.updateNameBrowser)
so you want to use emit the activated(const QString &) signal. Since this
signal has a parameter (const QString &), you need to pass an argument to
the emit() method:
self.Names.emit(QtCore.SIGNAL("activated(const QString &)"), text)
where text is some string value.
Although you can get away without using SLOT() in Python, and thereby avoid
dealing with C++ type signatures, it's easy to forget that you have to be
explicit when dealing with SIGNAL().
