Yes, I ran into that as well, and hacked away they IconLogger code to
make it work; "subprocess" was added in Python 2.4 and you're running
2.3 (FC3 or RHEL4, I guess).

Looks like this should be in bugzilla.  For now, I recommend hacking out
the IconLogger from logging.py; it's an optional extra (or, better,
coming up with a sane patch so that it fails gracefully on Python 2.3)
