Hello Jan.  I had the same symptoms using Sidux and KDE4 (441628).  I
installed backintime-gnome (yeh it pulled in a bunch of other gnome
packages) but it seems to work just fine.  For your info.

Bug description:
Using Kubuntu 9.10 and the le-web repository. Installed versions 
(backintime-common and backintime-kde) are 0.9.26-3.

If I start backintime from the commandline, the KDE4-frontend comes up. 
Clicking the "Backup"-Icon starts the backup-process which will work correctly.

I have configured a daily backup-schedule. "crontab -l" gives:

@daily nice -n 19 /usr/bin/backintime --backup-job >/dev/null 2>&1

Unfortunately this does _not_ seem to work. The backup-process starts, 
correctly, every midnight, but it will hang. In the notification area the icon 
will be "unclickable" but show a tooltip stating that it's comparing the last 
backup. It will hang there for several days if not killed manually (using htop, 
oder whatever).
