Hi, thanks for the response. I cc'd kde-devel, so hopefully I can get some
light on the rest of this.

I'm going to upgrade to gutsy soon or this weekend.

Does 4.3.2 include the patches that are in qt-copy on kdesvn? Are those
patches important? What is the version number of qt-copy in kdesvn(before
patches)?

Doesn't cmake use the QTDIR env var? There are a good number of other
variables in the .bashrc which use QTDIR. If I delete ~/qt-copy then
they'll be busted, right?

Maybe I wasn't clear. I want to know if the versions in the gutsy repos are
the appropriate versions. Any idea?
