Works fine (after a couple of minor corrections) on 2 of my systems.

Running ldd on one of the qt provided examples (aclock) shows very 
different results:

SuSE9.1
         linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
         libqt-mt.so.3 => /usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.3 (0x4003f000)
         libpng.so.3 => /usr/lib/libpng.so.3 (0x40728000)
         libz.so.1 => /lib/libz.so.1 (0x40756000)
         libXi.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXi.so.6 (0x40768000)
         libXrender.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender.so.1 (0x40770000)
	...

SuSE9.0
         libqt-mt.so.3 => /usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.3 (0x40036000)
         libpng.so.3 => /usr/lib/libpng.so.3 (0x4075b000)
         libz.so.1 => /lib/libz.so.1 (0x40789000)
         libGLU.so.1 => /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1 (0x40798000)
         libGL.so.1 => /usr/lib/tls/libGL.so.1 (0x40816000)
         libXmu.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6 (0x40881000)
         libXi.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXi.so.6 (0x40897000)
	...

Also ldd for kfind also show similar differences.  Don't know why GL 
(and Xmu) are being linked in for non GL qt apps.

However it does suggest it has nothing to do with python, and probably 
Qt version/build related.
