I think an upstream bug should not hold up our beta release. We can add this 
information to the announcement, so it's clear that korganizer doesn't work. As it's 
one relatively isolated issue, the patch is already queued in Qt (ha!) and we clearly 
say "this eats kittens (cittens)", I think that it's OK to move forward. Holding up 
the beta doesn't buy us anything at this point, it will just get us less testing.

One thing I'd be interested in, to gauge the worst case scenario, when is Qt 4.6.1 
planned? Hopefully before our planned 4.4.0 release date ...
