Bug 184426

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
Compiler:          Python 2.6 and gcc 4.3.3 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package

The following pykde program try to connect KWindowSystem::activeWindowChange(WId) to a Python function. But it failed - there's no exception raised when running, but the Python is not triggered when window focus changed. Even more strange, QObject.connect doesn't raise any exception when a non exist signal passed in (for example SIGNAL("balbal()"), is that the normal behavior of connect()?

I'm using Archlinux, the version of PyQt is 4.4.4, sip is 4.7.9.
