Glad you liked it! I updated it slightly today, got some feedback from my
wife regarding the shadows, as the previous one was a bit thin and too
strong.

Sorry for that. I have several friends named Alberto here in Brazil, it is
the most common form of the name in Portuguese...

I would be glad to. I know you are quite involved in other parts of kde,
and I think it could be a good way for me to get more familiar with
bugzilla and the general issues related to maintaining code in the KDE
tree.

Good idea. I will contact Richard and ask for his help on this. There are
some tilesets available in the KMahjongg page, maybe we can even already
adapt them to SVG format (without too much work, simply embedding the
bitmaps) so users will not lose anything.

OK, I did not know that. Well, since Josef is involved in the BoF meeting
at Akademy this is just perfect. I will bug him about this in Dublin :)

I see that you are going as well, looking forward for the opportunity to
meet you guys there.
