Sweet. You are right, that does work. Good to know :-)
Test snippet for notanymike:
import maya.OpenMayaUI as mui
from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui
import sip
class Filter(QtCore.QObject):
def eventFilter(self, obj, event):
print "eventFilter:", obj, event.type()
return False
ptr = mui.MQtUtil.mainWindow()
mainWin = sip.wrapinstance(long(ptr), QtGui.QMainWindow)
f = Filter()
# enable
mainWin.installEventFilter(f)
# disable
mainWin.removeEventFilter(f)
