Hello everybody,

while Alan and I were chatting with the upstream developer of trojitá 
(our soon-to-be email app on the phone), he mentioned the following set 
of bugs:

  * https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68056
  * https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTCREATORBUG-9978
  * https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-32760

and mentioned the following:

  <jkt> dholbach: tag 0.4.1 is OK, 0.4.0 doesn't contain that fix,
        unfortunately that's about libxkbcommon bringing problems
        on the desktop
  <jkt> dholbach: you might want to ask the Qt guys about that
        library; my impression is that given it's a pretty new stuff
        and AFAIK nobody but Qt5 uses it, the old releases might be
        rather buggy

We are currently at libxkcommon 0.3.1, Debian has 0.4.0. Timo Aaltonen 
in #ubuntu-x was very helpful, did a test-build of 0.4.1, pushed it to 
Debian git and to https://launchpad.net/~tjaalton/+archive/test

As Mir depends on it, and it'd require an archive admin review (new 
binary package) and a FFe, it'd probably be good if the Mir developers 
could take a quick look at it and see if it's all right.

Thanks a lot everyone in advance.

Have a great day,
  Daniel

Sorry for taking so long on this - I've tested it, and it (a) doesn't 
break any API Mir needs to build, and (b) appears to work fine on the 
device.

As far as I'm concerned, it looks just fine.
