Qt plugin unloading issue

[Ivan Čukić]

Hi all,

There have been a few places where we have problems related to Qt
not properly killing the plugins. The one that have me headache was [1].
There are a few related ones (in other KDE software), but I don't recoll
them at the moment.

I got the report that the issue has been fixed for Qt 5.8 [2].
This means that we will be without this fix for Plasma 5.8.
Should we ask the distributions to ship Qt with this patch enabled?
It is a small patch, but I don't know whether it might break
something else.

Cheers,
Ivan
