I had to change two things to get the python-kde3 sources to build:

1) kmessagebox.sip or sipkdeuiKMessageBox.cpp needs extern const KGuiItem& 
nullGuiItem; and

2) kservicegroup.sip or sipkioKServiceGroupList.cpp needs to include 
sipkioKSycocaEntryPtr.h.

I imagine adding to the sip files is "correct," but I'm just editing the 
generated C++ code to get it to build, since I'll throw away the sources 
anyway. :)

I'm using sid 3.8-2 sip and python-sip-qt3, and 3.8-2.1 python-qt3/
python-qt-dev.
