Look at the source below. You have got two possibilities to solve your problem.
Either you create you own label through subclassing QLabel and implementing
mousePresEvent or you can catch the events for a simple QLabel with 
installEventFilter. The second method is quite cool because you can use it with
any widget without sub-classing (I'm working on a dialog-editor using this
feature). Unfortunately you cannot (as far as I known) convert the QEvent to 
QMouseEvent in eventFilter. In C++ it is simple macro (definded in qevent.h)
but pyKDE does not support this (even not in pyKDE 0.9pre2 :-( ). This would 
be  necessary to access to mouse position.
