OK, then sorry for being a bit rude - I should have read the Qt api docs at 
the start. I think the only thing that really went wrong with this change is 
that it should have be style-specific to Oxygen from the start, and should 
never have been a global change to all styles in the svn even if 
labelled 'Temporary'. I just build the default stuff in the svn and haven't 
enabled Oxygen, and so plastik or whatever the default style is, shouldn't 
never have been affected.
