I've run probably into the same segfault on kubuntu after upgrade to
kde 4.3 too. The problem lies in some incompatibility between
different versions of sip/PyQt4: I suppose the default jaunty PyQt
version is something like 4.4.x, while kde 4.3 installs version 4.5.2.
When I recompiled qgis python bindings with this newer version, the
segfault was gone. If you don't want to compile QGIS on your own,
probably you'll have to either downgrade python-qt4 (and friends) back
to original version or uninstall python support in qgis.
