This does not happen with my PyQt on OS X 10.3 ( http://bob.pycs.net/ 
).  But mine is compiled static, so maybe that's why?

This warning is actually spurious, this obviously isn't the actual 
argv[0]

I'm not sure what the paste of the thread stuff has to do with 
anything?  Did you compile Qt with or without threads?

This is not to say that PyQt works fine though, because it doesn't.  It 
has several crashing bugs with the examples (but the clock example 
works fine for me)  that I didn't really research because this stuff 
just takes WAY TOO LONG to build.
