[William A. Hoffman]

I do not see a patch attached to that bug report.  Is there a bug report
that has a patch attached to it?

>Linking against QT Built as static under linux fails due to incorrect order of libs being linked. Also missing some libs which result in link errors (for example Qt wants to use system png and others. Apps can fix this by overriding the QT_LIBRARIES variable but perhaps it could be guessed better somewhere

I lost it a long time ago and coped ok letting you lot do everything (and you've done very well of course), but the Qt builds just don't work with static QT libraries and the patches I submitted to the bug tracker months ago are out of date now due to other changes. I'd like to get the Qt stuff working again on the cvs head.
