One roundabout way to do this would be to use the 'polygons to lines'
tool in fTools to convert your polygons to lines, then use the
'intersect lines' tool (in fTools) to find intersections between the new
line layer (use the line layer as both input and intersect layer).
I haven't tested this myself, but in theory in should work...
