Thanks for testing this bug and for making the necessary modification.

I think Eugene is right, this is related to #43.

Great! But before you upgrade the code from Qt3 to Qt4 wait till I posted

I'd like to port the AP-Qt front-end to PyQt4, but it'd require that the
end-users have Python and PyQt4 pre-installed.  In many cases, this test
would fail and the AP-Gtk front-end would be used instead.

 For now we should concentrate on getting the Qt3 front-end to work. Do you

Yes, I think that's a good idea: wipe out AP-Qt until it's identical to
AP-Gtk again.  Since I've started teaching and tutoring again, I probably
won't have much time to modify AP-Qt right now.

As a teacher, I must advise you to give priority to your studies :-).  We're
lucky to have you as an AP developer, and there's no urgency to release v1.4
since v1.2.6 seems to be quite stable.
