You know I really think Qt is a great library, while I understand you are 
proud of it, you should avoid ignoring its shortcomings, and upgrades between 
minor version is one of the biggest shortcomings of Qt, when I look at the 
number of stuff that broke between Qt4.3 and Qt4.4 in Krita, I do think they 
are a lot of upgrade problems, and the fixes needed for this are not allways 
compatible between 4.3 and 4.4 (at least I had a lot of issue there with 
previous upgrade), and yes I gave up reporting since I don't have time to 
spend on making isolated test case (and while you might think it's all my 
fault or krita fault, I expect code that work with 4.3 to work with 4.4 the 
same way, and to work with 4.5 4.6 4.6 4.8...).

It's allready what I do... and have beeing doing for a long time... but that 
doesn't avoid my need to stay with 4.3...

But if there is no way around, and I am the only one with the issue, I don't 
want to be the one blocking the project to move forward.
