I think this approach is fundamentally flawed in that it doesn't use KCon=

for looking up the settings. KDE applications should read their settings =

KConfig, using QSettings instead is a step back that I'm not willing to t=

If Qt applications have no means of adjusting to the KDE settings then th=

a shortcoming of Qt that should be fixed in Qt. Degrading KDE to overcome=

that is not the way to go.

I would love to discuss a solution together with TrollTech but so far the=

not seem to be interested in this issue.

Cheers,
