I hope I didn't upset anybody, just got a bit frustrated by the current state of<br>
the art. Alone how many patches for all our stuff are floating around in the net<br>
to make it somehow buildable instead of some solution inside frameworks made<br>
me really sad :/ And the amount of work that went into patching Qt to behave like<br>
on Linux on non-linux makes me even more sad, given the effort of the people<br>
at the Qt Company to make Qt more native and attractive for these platforms.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Just for the record, I'm not upset about the KNotification change, I just</div><div>don't think it's a correct one.
