I'll send another email about this, but Trolltech is aware that there are 
many features that need to be in Qt 4.2 for KDE to function properly 
without crude hacks or patching Qt. We'll do our best to include them in 
4.2.

The only problem I see so far is that some of your patches are quite big. 
Trolltech cannot accept large patches for various legal reasons. I did 
not, however, take a look at what you were changing -- just the size of 
the patch. It may be that the patch is actually simple and there aren't 
many different ways to implement the functionality.
