i think that it's unarguable, that xf is by far the most used x
flavour around ...
and the problem is not limited to kde (potentially).

you didn't get it.
a) this hack can't have side effects, on _any_ plattform. provided of course,
 that some other code is not broken, but that's something we can assume until
 the opposite is proven.
b) it would not be the first time that tt introduces a workaround for
 a plattform-specific bug (the whole windows-code is a workaround, you
 know. anybody who ever programmed win can confirm this :))).
