Hello all,
As far as I can tell, there is no way to build KDE2 with XFree86 4.0.2
when it has threads and Qt requires GL to be linked to it. The only
solution I can see at this point is to simply remove GL support from the
default QT library but instead put it in a separate library. My
suggestion is this: How about removing the GL support from the default
libqt2.so, but leaving it in libqt2-mt.so? Has anyone tried testing
whether the stuff in our tree that requires libqt2 with GL works with
the threaded version? I.e. right now the qt2X ports install both a
libqt2.so and a libqt2-mt.so (non-threaded and threaded version), and I
think that it makes more sense simply to leave GL out of the non-threads
version, but only if the threads version works (ie: functionality) with
the ports that require GL support in Qt. If they don't.. I guess that
means I will need to figure out a way to get libqtgl back. Some people
wanted -thread in Qt before, so I'm not sure it's a good idea just to
nuke that part (and won't solve the problem anyway since it's really GL
in XFree86 4.0.2+ that's causing the problem).
Oh, and don't forget that I'm talking about packages here. I'd really
like for Qt to still be usable packagewise. So I'm not really
interested in compile-time ".if defined(NO_MESA)" or similar... even at
the expense of an additional huge library (see libqtgl idea above).
Please let me know. We don't have much time left.

P.S. Statements such as "KDE sucks!" or similar will be summarily
ignored and your opinion will not count when I make a decision. :)
I.e. I may just decide to nuke GL at your expense. :)
This means you Maxim! ;-)
