This isn't so easy as it sounds. while you edit the lineedit, there might be 
temporarily values in the field which are not "valid", but "have the chance 
in becoming valid". Therefore interpreting those changes upon every keypress 
is quite dangerous. You definitely need some kind of "now the editing 
process has finished, do something" indication. 

The only fault is not "stopping" the editing process when the user closes 
the modal dialog. 

A simple solution might be to check for edited() when the value() of the 
spinbox / knuminput is queried. this is of course hacky. 

I'm not sure if there is a more elegant solution.
