Since I'm not on my laptop now, I can't send them to you. However, I think I'm going to commit them soon. This should allow us to use FT 2.1.0, but retain the functionality in 2.0.9. Of course, this is moot if KDE doesn't _build_ with FT 2.1.0. If you know that to be the case, then I will revert to 2.0.9.
