That's odd. Any chance you can provide your test Python code? (mailing
off list would be good).

Yep. The solution is that if you import PyQT, it'll find the existing
QApplication instance and provide it as the module attribute 'qApp'. So
you just use the QApplication instance created at Scribus startup.

Yep, that's right. I'll mail you some sample code. Basically you use the
existing qApplication to create a new window and attach all the slots
and signals. When you display it, qt puts it in its normal event loop.

Unfortunately, there seems to be another problem when that app exists or
the next one starts.
