I helped several people with this a few weeks ago. In almost all cases
it was due to KDE updates from KDE-Backports. Rolling back all
KDE-backports seemed to fix it.

There's something about the new version of KDE (4.6?) that gets the sip
version out of sync with something else and QGIS doesn't like the combo
of them. I don't know the full details.

Thanks,
