Yes, Pat rebuilt QScintilla in slackware-current after we got a 
bugreport about it (the PyQt and sip upgrade warranted a QScintilla 
upgrade).
However I forgot to apply a QScintilla rebuild to my own KDE 4.10.2 
set for Slackware 14.

A simple rebuild of QScintilla will cure this. I will add a package to 
my ktown repo as well, as soon as I can.

Cheers, Eric
