I will check the discussion (probably not tomorrow though, have to visit a customer), but Thursday and join the list. After having compiled my own Qt, the next issue I ran into was that shared-mime-info in CentOS 5 is too old :-).

I need to dig in our history to see why we had to drop earlier versions of Qt. I seem to remember it was about tablet support and maybe some other bug fixes. Until 4.4, Qt was basically broken, and with 4.8 it's entered brokenness again. But as I said, for specific reasons I have to dig, it's a long time ago!
