Hi Keith,

I'm raising the severity a bit, now that KDE4 is available in
experimental, which uses Qt4 extensively.

Cheers,

Is there a bug on freedesktop's bugzilla describing this problem? I'm
tracking the 2.6 release as bug 14062 and would like to make sure this
one doesn't slip past my upstream release process.

I haven't submitted a bug on fd.o bugzilla and I also couldn't find one
that matches my problem after a quick search.

Hi Keith,

sorry for asking again, but has there been any progress on this matter?
Does it help you if I file such a bug at the fd.o bugzilla?
