Urgh ;)

This fix could have been in 5.30 if you had emailed either faure at kde.org
or release-team at kde.org.

kde-packagers@ doesn't exist anymore, and I almost don't read gmx.fr anymore,
I'm moving away from that provider. Bad luck with the email addresses you 
chose...

I'm not sure I understand the bug and its impact though. Is any compilation of 
KDE software broken by the bug you describe, or is it hypothetical (and it's 
just a bug, which can wait until 5.31) ?
