@Matthew: right, it's not a "default" at all... a default is a configuration
setting... what you describe is a bug that's causing unexpected behaviour...
you confuse that... also: for the paper size problem using and setting up
libpaper seemingly worked for reescf... what's more: this is a Qt bug, not a
KDE bug... while KDEs ignorance on this one hurts everyone you should really
blame Nokia for not fixing the bug...

And again:
1. The bug is in no way "simple".
2. The bug is not within KDE but in Qt.
3. Qt is owned and maintained by Nokia.
4. Nokia has known this for 3+ years and ignores it as well.

What you could blame KDE for though is to be so stubborn about not diverging
from upstream Qt in this case. They have good reasons not to do this easily but
in this case the patch and therefor the risk isn't very big but well understood
and should be outweighted by the advantages that it brings. So this is not a
technical issue but a policy/political issue and THAT's what makes it so
frustrating...
