Sorry about the multiple emails earlier.

Looks like your 'pyarchinit_plugin.py' file has 8 occurrences of
activated() in the initGui() method. Try switching those signals to
triggered(). You may want to check the rest of your plugin for any more Qt
3-only code.

I believe this issue is not currently present on QGIS for Windows or Linux,
because the standard Nokia Qt 4.4.x - 4.8.x distributions are compiled with
-qt3support, which keeps support for ~580 Qt 3 bits of code in the compiled
QtCore, QtGui, etc. modules. It's my understanding that Qt 5 will
completely drop such Qt 3 support, however.
