It's fine with me. QGL support is no more important than shipping the
4.3-RELEASE with KDE2 packages included.
Now, let me ask you something: is the problem specific to FreeBSD, or
moreover, is it specific to 4-STABLE? I badly wish we could let all
those thread weirdness disappear before 5.0-RELEASE.. ;)
I appreciate your continuous effort on Qt & KDE ports! :)
