Thanks for finding these.  They're fixed in CVS.

It was nearly working except for some minor clipping update problems that 
affect konsole.  I haven't taken time to get KDE3 running here and so 
haven't been able to reproduce or fix this issue.

I intended to remove any presumption that the patch could compile against 
Xft1; with the release of Xft2 and fontconfig, there's no urgent need to 
support the older library and attempting to make the code cross compatible 
between two versions of Xft is probably only asking for trouble.  I've
also not updated Qt3 in a few weeks making the patch somewhat stale at 
this point.
