Ubuntu 8.04 LTS users have a set of problems with the qt ui, related
to lack of some features.

I have a 8.04 machine at work. I didn't have time to test this
properly, but you can add Qt 4.4 from backports:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-backports main universe
multiverse restricted

Installation of qt4.4 went ok (I did apt-get dist-upgrade), BUT
related pyqt version is not available. The upside is that Qt4.4 seems
to work fine with the installed pyqt version, downside is that you
probably need to compile pyqt yourself in order to use qt 4.4
features. That's much less of a chore than building Qt itself, luckily
;-).

The build process should be quite simple:

apt-get build-dep python-qt4

(acquire source *)

cd python-qt4 (or whatever)

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot

cd ..
dpkg -i *.deb



*) Acquire source either as upstream source tarball from riverbank, or
intrepid / jaunty / lenny source repos

Let me know if anyone has time to test it out
