I previous posted about this issue and I have included it below. I also am including a standard widget call. Could this have anything to do with the graphic background?
I have found that this only occurs on X Windows, not on MS Windows. In basic PyQt applications, without graphics, I don't get these issues. Ideas?

It becomes annoying when I open a new application screen and everything disappears for a second. Is it possible to avoid this?
