Hello Kurt,

I havn't followed the discussion about the hand cursor, but I think the
idea of an "unofficial patch page" is not a very good one. Even less if
it is done by an active KDE developer ;)

I think a single source base is one of the most important things in KDE
development. And this fact will become even more important when it is
possible to patch Qt. So I would rather prefer to 

a) discuss the topic until a solution is reached or
b) make it configurable

then splitting development. I fear this would create a lot more problems
than benfits.


Bye,
Matthias.
