I haven't ignored this - I just need to rebuild PyQt with dbus support to 
check it out (and had another bug fix in the queue).. 

I also don't have the Python cups module, and can't seem to find it for SuSE 
10.3 (download.opensuse.org is also down at the moment). Any idea where I can 
find the source for it? I doubt it's the problem though, but won't know until 
I finish rebuilding.

QtDBus shows up if you ldd any of the PyKDE4 modules, but it's not expressly 
linked by PyKDE4, so one of the Qt or KDE libs is sucking it in.

And - menus don't work in PyKDE4 with the Oxygen theme. Haven't gotten to that 
yet either (and am not looking forward to it).
