That's a problem with PyQt - you need a newer version than PyQt 3.16. for the 
sip version that you're using. I believe Phil has a newer release up at 
riverbankcomputing.co.uk, but if not, you can download the most recent PyQt 
snapshot. You'll need to rebuild PyQt before building PyKDE.

You can also just comment out all but one of the QColor.rgb methods in 
qcolor.sip, but IIRC there are one or two other similar fixes needed in other 
files.
