[Kde-perl] Capturing close events

[Marius Kjeldahl]

Would you mind testing a "parentWidget()" call or any other method defined in 
QWidget which would use the implicit this pointer? I use parentWidget other 
places in my source without any trouble, but in the close/closeEvent methods it 
seems the implicit this pointer is not set correctly.

Thanks,

Marius K.
