<snip> I've been busy with other things, as I'm sure you all are, and haven't had time to investigate the deadlock occurring for me when I run my simple PyQt4 app as root. David, did my last email to the list with gdb and strace output give any clues to where the problem lies? It looks like a deadlock, but is this a result of system configuration or a software bug? I'm assuming you are able to run this as root, right? Thanks again for the help, Joe _______________________________________________ PyQt mailing list [email protected] http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt
