Nah.  It takes days to get through moderation of one of those specialist KDE lists.
And when I do, I get flooded with emails on topics that do not interest me and often
get no response anyway.  Been there, done that … :-(

As it is, I have also posted a "ticket" (bug report) at the Macports end.  See
https://trac.macports.org/ticket/34605  So I hope the builders and Macporters can
help each other on this one.

It is not urgent ATM: I have a workaround.  But I would not like to see KDE apps
on the Mac die off as Apple compilers change. They have been changing quite
a bit just lately.

Thanks very much for your help and advice on this problem, Albert.

Cheers, Ian W.
