I believe KTimezone is a different problem that's due to some variation in the 
KDE source across distributions - I'm really not sure and would have to go 
back through the list archives, but this has come up before, and isn't a 
problem I have had here.

I'm about to get back to work on PyKDE - update to KDE 3.5.1 and 3.5.2 first, 
and then go back through unresolved bugs from the list, including the 
proposed dcop patch and KParts stuff from the last few days which I haven't 
had time to respond to.

Be aware though that the fixes and next release of PyKDE will require sip 
4.4.1 and won't be compatible with earlier releases of sip.
