You're using QApplication instead of KApplication. If you add:

   from kdecore import KApplication

and change

   app = QApplication (sys.argv)

to 

   app = KApplication (sys.argv,  "")

it won't segfault (doesn't appear to display everything the way you probably 
intend - didn't troubleshoot that).

You can look at .py files in the examples/ directory or templates/ directory 
for other examples of instantiating KApplication.
