QMimeData::setData() is QString type, QByteArray data. The former ends up calling the \
latter with data.toLatin1().

I have a need to set a QByteArray payload in the taskbar - X11 WIds, as understood \
e.g. by pagers.

The proposed patch changes the DeclarativeMimeData::setData() signature to QString \
type, QVariant data. The implementation checks whether the QVariant is a byte array, \
and if so, hands it to the base class implementation. If it&#39;s not a byte array, \
it checks if it can be converted to a QString, and if so, hands the string \
version&#39;s toLatin1() to the base class. If the QVariant is neither a byte array \
nor convertable to a string, nothing is done.

This means behavior changes as follows:
- Byte array support is back.
- Anything that QVariant knows how to convert to a QString is converted. This maybe \
subtly different from how QML &quot;casts&quot; to QString, but I think fits the \
                original sentiment of changing the signature to use QString.
- Non-bytearray/string-convertable data is silently dropped.

If this patch is accepted, I would like to backport it to KDE/4.11 as well and make \
use of the improved implementation to restore drag-task-to-pager behavior in the new \
QML task manager.</pre>  </td>
