I managed to make a package and get it to work. I didn't use the package
to install wabbit though, since it required installing files in the users
home directory. I guess I could change it a bit to look in a share
directory or something. I looked at wabbit a little, it looks pretty nice.
I'll need to check more into it.

I also had to define LD_PRELOAD=/usr/kde/3.1/lib/libkdeui.so.4.1.0 as
Pedro Rodriguez mentioned in his post:

It took me a long time to testout the package, I finally got it to work!
Basicly I install pythonize and pykpanelapplet through the package rather
than depending on the Makefile, not a big deal. Unless I figure out how to
patch for the LD_PRELOAD thing I'll probably hold off trying to submit the
package to Gentoo.

Since upgrading to kde3.1.4 I always run into this with any PyKDE app
using QThread(I think QThread is part of the cause) when I exit the
application. 

Fatal Python error: PyEval_RestoreThread: NULL tstate

I'll try to narrow down the cause unless someone here knows of it. When I
had kde3.1.3 I didn't get this. I was thinking it was just because
PyKDE3.7-4 didn't support kde3.1.4, but with PyKDE3.8 it is still doing
it.
