Possibly a Qt version issue, though without the last bit of the error 
message its hard to know. I don't suppose anything is being printed to a 
console (debug mode)?
In the mean time, you can disable the about dialog by changing line 47 
of your fTools.py file from (untested):
import doReProject, doSpatialJoin, doSubsetSelect, doSumLines, 
doVectorGrid, doAbout
to:
import doReProject, doSpatialJoin, doSubsetSelect, doSumLines, 
doVectorGrid#, doAbout
and line 241 from:
    QObject.connect( self.ftools_aboot, SIGNAL("triggered()"), 
self.doaboot )
to:
    #QObject.connect( self.ftools_aboot, SIGNAL("triggered()"), 
self.doaboot )

Otherwise, we need to figure out exactly what that error message is saying?
