We had a look at some of the Qt patches in there. You need to be careful with 
them, as they might make things work a bit better with Japanese, but often 
broke things completely for other asian languages.

The khtml patch for autodetection of japanese encodings looks interesting. 
I'll need to look into that one, but I don't want to add it for 2.2 anymore, 
as it needs testing. Maybe 2.2.1.

The knewsticker patch looks simple and probably right, the kmail patch might 
be worth considering.

I can't really judge the other ones without more detailed look into them.

Cheers,
Lars
