Not true, i never said it is not a problem, and if i said it i was wrong, it 
is a problem, happy? Okular has 208 open bugs, what makes you think your bug 
is the one that should be fixed first?

This is a development channel as the name of the list implies, if you are not 
going to *help* with the development, you are more than welcome to leave.

Sorry, I can't say that, i know it exists, I've known it for ages, i just 
don't feel it is the next think i have to do in my life (next thing is getting 
my Kindle and reading some stuff), if you think it is important, do it 
yourself or get some money and hire someone to fix it, i know a few KDE devels 
willing to take money to fix stuff.

What i did:
 I fixed a few bugs and did some free software code, helped debug some 
problems with KDE translations

What you did:
  You insulted me, with the possible outcome of less bugs fixed and less free 
software code going into the world tomorrow

I am proud of myself, are you?
