 But Qt itself can, and that's the problem.

 I've committed qt-copy patch #0208 that removes the QUiTools dependency on Qt 
internals, so changing Qt versions or using patch #0180 should no longer be a 
problem (you obviously first need to recompile libplasma once with such 
patched Qt). There's also new patch #0209 that should help detect any similar 
possible problems caused by using qt-copy.

 Is somebody from TT already looking into the QUiTools problem or should I 
submit #0208 to qt-bugs?
