When you write self.defaultButton.clicked() you are actually calling
that function there and then.

You need to pass the slot's name as a string:

  self.shortcutKey.connectItem(id, self.defaultButton, SLOT("clicked()"))

Alternatively, since this is Python, you can also write

  self.shortcutKey.connectItem(id, self.defaultButton.clicked)

which is much nicer to read. :-)
