> Or do you think they have removed it?

The patch was recently removed from svn, so I suggest updating your
qt-copy installation as follows:

1.  svn up qt-copy
2.  svn revert -R qt-copy   (to remove any previously applied patches)
3.  cd qt-copy
     ./apply-patches  (to apply Qt 4 patches by various KDE developers)

Rebuild and install qt-copy

Regards,
Robert.
