I'd say that if it's a Qt/KDE problem, then yes, PLEASE report this to the 
appropriate places. MandrakeSoft cannot and should not be viewed as the only 
outlet for the various projects. If this is a general problem with KDE/Qt, 
then other distros and LFS will be running into the same problem. Thus it 
really should be reported.
