Could you provide a URL where I can get slickbar?

Please verify that you have sip, PyQt, and PyKDE installed. Run a command 
like:
$ rpm -qa | grep "sip\|PyQt\|PyKDE"

You should see something like:
sip-3.7-1
PyQt-3.7-1
PyKDE-3.7-1

...but let me know what it says.

Can you try the following commands:
$ python
>>> import qt

I am interested in what it says.

Do you mean the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable? Actually, they should be installed 
in PYTHONPATH, or /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/. Python will pick up 
the .so as a python library. You may see something like this in 
site-packages:

I am the guy who made those RPMs. I don't really have a machine to test 
stuff on, and so I end up testing it on the machine that compiled it. 
Sometimes there are problems. I am glad that you are pointing the problems 
out. Let's get this figured out because maybe everyone is seeing the same 
problems, and I am not getting any feedback.
