I agree with you (sort of). I have already posted a Qt patch which would work with every platform, the only drawback being that it would be for Qt >= 4.2 only. So, if we declare Qt 4.1 unsupported, that would be the way to go. I am not going to propose that, but I would not oppose if that is conditionally compiled in for Qt >= 4.2. -- Enrico
