[PySide] QListView: drag&drop custom item

[Frank Rueter | OHUfx]

Anybody?
I'm still struggling with this. I went back to using a QStandardItem for 
a while which solved the dag&drop behaviour, but now I really need to 
use a custom item that inherits QStandardItem which breaks the drop 
behaviour again.

Any ideas or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
frank
