[Kde-perl] Overloading of Qt::ToolTip::maybeTip doesn't work

[Ole Christensen]

Richard,

unfortunately the patch you suggested does not fix the problem. 
Everything unchanged. Find the corresponding output below. Note the "-- 
Ole" ;-) So the right lib actually gets used. The mapObject function 
obviously does not get called at all in this context. I put an fprintf 
there which is not reached.

virtual 0x8746220->QToolTip::maybeTip() called
Cannot find object for virtual method -- Ole

I applied the patch on a fresh cvs export from sourceforge. Is there 
anything else I could do to track down the problem? Thanks in any case 
for your help.


Regards,

Ole.
