  vbox = QVBoxLayout()

  # Let's create two sliders widgets.
  #  http://doc.trolltech.com/4.6/qslider.html
  sone = QSlider(Qt.Horizontal)
  vbox.addWidget(sone)

  stwo = QSlider(Qt.Horizontal)
  vbox.addWidget(stwo)

  # Link the first slider to the second.
  # Think of this as an event and listener system - a signal is an event, and it can have multiple listeners.
  # A slot is a listener to an event.
  #
  # Signals are generally used whenever an action occurs which might require a reaction, or feedback - for example,
  # a user clicking on a button, or a slider value changing.
  #
  # A signal can provide one (or more) parameters, which can then be used in the corresponding slot(s).
  #
  # In this example, we're linking the valueChanged signal to setValue on the second slider, meaning that whenever the
  # first slider is moved, the second slider will move with it.
  #
  # This might look strange when compared with the .NET and other typical methods of doing it, but it
  # really is much more natural and easier to express.

  self.connect(sone, SIGNAL("valueChanged(int)"), stwo, SLOT("setValue(int)"));

  # Set the layout on the window: this means that our button will actually be displayed.
  self.setLayout(vbox)
