Well, using the "one type of mark" approach, you'd set the same total number 
of markers in this case, and thereby confine the "garbage sections" to their 
own regions. So you'd have just as much flexibilty. I can see your point, 
too, though.

As far as I understand, markChanged () is really a Qt signal that simply is 
not defined as such for some technical reason. There is a comment to that 
effect in markinterfaceextension.h. Also, google turns up a usage of this in 
quanta: 
http://websvn.kde.org/branches/KDE/3.5/kdewebdev/quanta/src/document.cpp?rev=623503&view=markup
I have not tried this, though.

Do you want to try your luck with this, or should I apply your patch as is, 
for now?

Thomas
