I'm normally confused, so it's not a problem.

Recompiling Qt with support for style related stuff did
fix the original poster's problem (now he's found a
different bug in PyKDE related to using an older KDE
version, which hopefully has been fixed too).

Using multiple Qt versions with PyKDE (and maybe PyQt
  - not sure) gets tricky because some distributions don't
automatically export QTDIR, even when they're running
two versions of Qt (like Qt1 and Qt2 a few years ago).
It also gets  difficult to match the h files needed for
code generation and compiling with the Qt libs needed
for linking, especially because there are inconsistencies
between the various  distributions. It can be sorted
out manually, but not always automatically (like with
autoconf or something equivalent).
