So do I Jim.  I settled on Phil's suggestion and implemented an eventFilter
for each QLineEdit object (using queryList("QLineEdit")) and the
installEventFilter method.  Works like a champ!

Essentially, the eventFilter checks the events registered by each field and,
if they are keystrokes, a self.timer.changeinterval(120000) is done to
restart the timer with a 2 minute timeout.

Thanks again for your responses.
