Are you sure this is a good solution? As far as I know KDE 3.1.x should be
BC. So it's no problem to compile with KDE 3.1.2 and run with, say  KDE
3.1.1. This way the bug will show. Am I right? Since a lot of users are
installing rpm packages created by other users this may occur more than
once. I never liked #ifdefs anyway. ;)
So what can I do instead? I could provide my own implementation (some
wrapper) for as long as K3b will be Kde 3.1 comp.. I think that would be the
best solution.

Cheers,
Sebastian
