Hello

To allow python to find the libs you just have to set $PYTHONPATH to
include $PREFIX/lib/python2.4/site-packages  (change that 2.4 to 2.5
if you're on python2.5).  Of course in a packaged form that wouldn't
be an issue since $PREFIX=/usr, but for test-driving it you'd probably
need to set PYTHONPATH.  Are there any distros that don't use
$PREFIX/lib/python2.x/site-packages?  If not, it wouldn't hurt to add
an assumption about the installation layout into the main script.

As for the setLeftMarginError -- That could be because you have py/qt
4.2.  The ui files were generated with designer-qt4 (4.3.x) so you
might need a more recent pyqt4.  I'll see if I can grab an older
version of pyqt and use it for all of the ui designs  (.ui files are
probably forward but not backwards compatible).
