No, I'm afraid you can't with this release - that's the biggest limitation of 
the current bindings. The next version that I'm working on, is based on the 
'Smoke' library, which has every possible Qt/KDE callback. That should be 
working soon - a month or two, and due for release with KDE 3.3.

All methods of  type 'void foo(void)', 'bool foo(void)' and 'void 
foo(someobject)' in QObject instances now have callbacks. You can 
subclass and override event handlers, or standard kde 'hooks' such as 
KMainWindow.queryClose(). But as KListViewItem isn't a QObject it doesn't have 
any virtual method 'hooks' to override paintCell() - bummer!
