--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Enclosed please find a new patch against Google Earth 5.2.1.
In these changes, I removed the Qt4 libraries and use our own
libfreeimage3 libraries.
* Avoid crashing[1] by QtWebKit. The QtWebKit libraries comes with
GoogleEarch is incompatible with system browser plugins.
* Use the system font settings, but not Google Earth's internal font
setting. It fixed font issue of non-en_US locale (ex: Chinese)
* I use LD_PRELOAD to overwrite the freeimages3 functions google linked
into their own libIGGfx.so, which also caused crashing[2].
This patch should also fixes #590847[3], #590842[4],
