Still, I'd be curious to see how many people on X11 use Qt4.1... I bet
not a lot. All the predicted integration problem did not really happened

There have been already complaints for the dismission of the Qt3
frontend by the FreeBSD people.
And they are very welcome to implement a Qt3 frontend if they'd like to
:-) I'd even help them (of course I know it will never happen so I can
promise anything :-))
There are other systems in the world
other than Windows and Linux.
Mac? ;-)
FWIW, I don't really care about the bells and whistles, there are enough
of them to use even in Qt 4.0. But I do care about conditional
compilations to avoid bugs in Qt 4.1. I also do care about code
simplification that would results in a switch to 4.2 (I'm thinking about
Edwin's toolbar widget for example).
Then go ahead and require a Qt snapshot such that you can have more
fun and less problems.
I am just talking about a reasonable compromise. By the time 1.6 is out,
4.2 will be 2 years old; not unreasonable IMHO.
PS: Qt 4.1.5 was released October 20, 2006. But Qt 3.3.8 was released
February, 14 2007. Yet we don't use it ;-)
And that is a real shame.
I was personally fad up of maintaining it. But I agree that Georg was
making a good job at it when I gave up.
