--- Comment #96 from reescf at gmail.com ---
I've never used KDE on OS X. (kile was probably *the* reason I chose KDE on
Linux - on OS X, I use TeXShop.) I've never known anybody use KDE on OS X. 

But as far as this bug is concerned, OS X integration should follow
automatically from Linux integration. Both use CUPS for printing. (Unless Apple
have stopped using CUPS in later versions of the OS. I haven't checked, but I
would be extremely surprised if they have.)

To reiterate, I still haven't heard any reason not to use the available patch
as a temporary, albeit hackish, work around. "Get somebody else to apply it" or
"somebody else could apply it" is not a reason. I'm not saying it is a poor
reason. I'm saying it is not a reason at all. It is simply irrelevant.

Given that the promised fixes have not made it into 4.8 and that QT 5 is likely
to have just the same setup, complete with bugs, as QT 4, I suspect that a
"proper" fix is years, probably decades and possibly centuries, off. That makes
the case for the temporary fix all the more compelling.
