I find it really sad to see people blaming us for not caring about our =
users.=20
That's quite a heavy blow, considering the amount of time I invested to=
 ensure=20
that Qt 5 applications get a drop in replacement for the system tray.=20=

Considering the time I spent to inform distributions several months a-h=
ead of=20
the change to get them do their packaging right. Considering that I wro=
te the=20
blog post you linked. I think it should show enough that we did care ab=
out our=20
users to ensure everything works will, including providing work around=20=

solutions if it doesn't.

Of course I'm not happy that proprieatary Qt 5 applications do not work=
, but=20
you can hardly blame us for it or demand that we write code to get clos=
ed=20
source software integrated. To make it quite clear: I will not invest a=
 minute=20
of work to get dropbox client work, if all that's needed for dropbox is=
 fixing=20
their packaging (skype can do it, right?). If that is a problem for you=
=20
consider using free software alternatives like owncloud.
