Hi all,

While testing some Qt application I found a bidi-related bug in Qt4, and I 
submited it to the trolls. They fixed it, but they also told me something I 
was not aware of.

In Qt3, tooltips had to be written using this notation "<qt>some text</qt>". 
In Qt4, this is no longer needed, but it's still used widly in KDE4. They 
told that Qt4 treats different text put in <qt> or <html> tags: when putting 
text inside those tags the text direction will not follow the widgets 
text-direction, but will always by LTR, and this will mess up RTL 
environments.

This is not documented for Qt 4.4.x, and will be documented for 4.5. I need to 
test if this really effects KDE 4.2 on Qt-copy. If it does, the trick is 
simple: remove all <qt> tags from "kde" and then try to find which <html> 
tags are really needed. I can do this myself (a simple sed would do the work 
no?) and commit this weekend, but I need to be sure that it will not harm too 
much, as this will create a lot of fuzzies for a lot of teams.

Please let me hear your opinion.
