 There haven't been any releases of Qt in the timespan of those at least five 
yours I've been sending patches to qt-bugs? (That's a rhetorical question - 
who says I've developed the hate for qt-bugs just because of one issue?)

 I have. I said that I currently don't see that worth it as long as nobody has 
tried just getting a reasonable size in Qt. BTW, this, or your last mail 
including forward of your previous mail to which I had already replied, show 
how issue trackers can be useful. Another reason why qt-bugs, unlike 
kde-core-devel not even having an archive, is so frustrating.

 Bah. So I should just do this for every one of them, just in case? Since I 
don't know if my reports do or don't get the right treatment - I often just 
don't know anything (and, if I get really unlucky, I find out several 
releases later my patch is in, and is broken). If that gets better, fine. For 
now, qt-copy patches was an unexpectedly good idea.
