Hi Annma,

Thanks for testing!

Looks like your PyQt is broken. Can you try to do "import qt" from a python 
shell to confirm?

This can be solved by system integrators of course. Guidance has quite some 
dependencies, and the pykde stack can be a PITA to set up, that's right. How 
much fun it actually is depends on the distribution. I hope this settles a 
bit once pykde is developed within kdesvn and follows its release schedules 
(this would remove a great part of the testing that's currently needed).

Truth is hard to find and harder to obscure.
