Isn't this also broken in an endianness sense? Hmmm. I'm not an expert, but 
according to:

http://research.microsoft.com/~hollasch/cgindex/coding/ieeefloat.html

I would suggest something like this (not tested):

const Q_INT64 qNaN = 0x7ff8000000000001LL; // Quiet NaN
const Q_INT64 sNaN = 0x7ff0000000000001LL; // SignallingNaN
...
double x = *(double *)whatever;

Note that you are still makingthe assumption of IEEE754 numbers. Hmm. Does KDE 
run on Vaxes? Maybe its not a problem :-)
