hi...

i understand that CVS is to be tagged on monday for an RC/beta ... i have a 
patch for kapplication that i posted earlier that makes it listen to the Qt 
style/color/font change msgs instead of the KIPC one... the changes are 
minimal ... i've been using them for a while now and it works rather nicely...

unfortunately, for these changes to work as expected w/kcontrol the font, 
colour and style kcms need to be updated. the style kcm already has been 
updated in CVS (and continues to be worked on), but the font and colour kcms 
have yet to be touched... 

this means that if CVS is tagged right now, style changes made via the 
kcontrol won't work. unless i commit my kapp changes. but then color/font 
changes won't work. erp!

i could rework the patch so it still listens for the font/color changes (but 
not the style ones) and then commit the rest of the changes post-tagging when 
the color/font kcms are ready.. but that seems a little hackish ....

i'd like to suggest that unless the new color and font kcms can be ready by 
tagging time that the old style kcm is used in the upcoming rc/beta and the 
style/color/font change be made afterwards ... 

this is obviously the call of the release manager and other core devels to 
make though ....
