IceWM's icecurcfg can't load gt-Module

Hi there,

I've just installed the packages "icewm" and "icewm-utils" via pacman.
When I try to start icecurcfg from the icewm-utils package in order to configure my mouse curser, I get the following error message:

schorsch@archie:~$ icecurcfg
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/icecurcfg", line 5, in <module>
    from qt import *
ImportError: No module named qt

Apparently the Qt-module for python is missing:

schorsch@archie:~$ head /usr/bin/icecurcfg
#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys, os
from types import *
from qt import *

class iceCurCfg(QWidget):
        def __init__(self,parent = None,name = None):
                QWidget.__init__(self,parent,name)

However it seems to be installed correctly:

schorsch@archie:~$ pacman -Qs qt python
local/pyqt 4.4.4-2
    PyQt is a set of Python bindings for the Qt toolkit.

What's the problem here?

TIA,
Blackhole

Just a quick guess - icewm-utils requires qt3. I remember initially having problems with icecurcfg, too, but forgot about the details.
After all, it is running properly here.
Do the other modules in icewm-utils work?

Ah, ok that might be the problem. I guess I have to install the modules for qt 3 as well.

Other modules produce the same error, but some work.

There's also a dependency missing. The preferences tool requires gvim installed. I manually had to install that. Someone should modify the package dependencies for icewm-utils (I don't know how do it).

Thanks for all your answers to my IceWM questions. I'll post more soon. ;-)

For now I set the mouse cursor manually via my .Xdefaults.

OK, it works now after manually installing the "pyqt3" package. That's another dependency missing in the icewm-utils package. Could someone fix this?
