Ah, ok. Seems to be KDE 3.1 specific then. I only tested KDE 3.2+.

KDE_3_2_BRANCH, gcc 3.3.2, Qt 3.3.1:

transfer.cpp:578: error: ISO C++ says that `QString QString::arg(long
   long unsigned int, int, int) const' and `QString QString::arg(double,
   int, char, int) const' are ambiguous even though the worst conversion
   for the former is better than the worst conversion for the latter

With the double cast everything is fine.


The same happens with your change
  -  logMessage(i18n("foo"),arg(totalSize));
  +  logMessage(i18n("foo"),arg(totalSize,0,'f');

CVS HEAD, gcc 3.4, qt-copy:

/home/camen/src/kde/kdecvs/kdenetwork/kget/transfer.cpp:611: Fehler: ISO 
C++ says that these are ambiguous, even though the worst conversion for 
the first is better than the worst conversion for the second:
/home/camen/src/kde/qt-copy/include/qstring.h:432: Anmerkung: candidate 1: 
QString QString::arg(Q_ULLONG, int, int) const
/home/camen/src/kde/qt-copy/include/qstring.h:438: Anmerkung: candidate 2: 
QString QString::arg(double, int, char, int) const

Oh this is not necessary. I already have the patches in my two trees and 
the changes for 3.2 and HEAD are minimal.

You can report a bug and attach the patch to the bug. An email to the 
relevant people will automatically generated.

In this case I think Alex (or myself if Alex is busy) will simply commit 
your changes.
