Pete got you on the right track - I always forget to create the new extra/kde* 
directory. KIconThemeDir is a struct or class defined in the cpp file, so sip 
can't access it. Normally this isn't a problem for sip, but KIconThemeDir has 
a long history of screwing up. To make things worse, over the last few 
releases it hasn't screwed up all the time, so I haven't always remembered to 
modify the h file. Apparently in your case it works on Fedora without 
modification.

All you need to do is edit extra/kde323/kicontheme.h and comment out the two 
lines that reference KIconThemeDir (one forward declaration near the 
beginning, and a private variable declaration near the end of the file).

To be strictly rigorous, you should duplicate extra/kde322 as kde323, but by 
copying the same set of h files from KDE 3.2.3 sources in to extra/kde323.
There probably aren't any changes in this release though. The only one that 
requires modification any longer is kicontheme.h. The others just aren't 
always present in kde3/include.
