I tried this, which required me to first do (on CentOS 5.5):
  - yuminstall gtk+ gtk+-devel
  - yum install gtk2 gtk2-devel
  - yum install contconfig fontconfig-devel
  - yum install freetype freetype-devel

Then I recompiled Qt using "./configure -fontconfig -gtkstyle". Then
recompiled PyQT, and it worked!

Thanks!
