The approach I would take at this point is to figure out why it's 
closing. You can usually do this by setting breakpoints in closeEvent() 
or the destructor (it it auto deletes on close), or sometimes by 
overriding event and look for the right type.

Right now, you see the symptom (closing the window), but you don't know 
why. Figure this out, and either the solution will be obvious, or post a 
new question here.

Well, I'm sorry it didn't work :-)
