Version: (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Plasma.FlashingLabel.flash supports only QPixmap but not QString as an argument as you can see here: http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdebindings/python/pykde4/sip/plasma/flashinglabel.sip?view=markup Removing this "feature" is not an acceptable solution. If there is no other way i would suggest creating a flashText method or something like this.
