That looks like a cairocffi/cffi problem. Do you have a user (i.e. non-root) install of cairocffi that you would only get when running as a user? If so, you should try removing and re-installing it.
How did you install qtile to "/home/malkuth/bin/"? If you did it by hand you need to run `python libqtile/ffi_build.py`.
