Just to clarify: provided I don't mount /usr/local, things work fine.
However, even with a vanilla kde user (i.e. not "me"), things are broken with the /usr/local/ code in place - so it's not my personal configuration.
Actually, I now know that all /usr/bin/python applications are broken with /usr/local mounted ...
(NB: this configuration worked fine under dapper with ubuntu, not kubuntu)
