Richard,

That worked! I had tried that line in the constructor, but it didn't 
work there. Many thanks.

I haven't upgraded from Qt 4.4 because my commercial licence has lapsed 
and I haven't yet fully investigated switching to the LGPL version. 
Switching to dynamic libraries isn't a big deal, but I believe ActiveQt 
and the Qt 3 support layer aren't support in the LGPL version - that 
would be an issue for me.
