As I said, (after updating to qt from unstable in testing) the only 'problem' I'm aware of is that light of dark background don't look good with default AA method. See konsole + AA yourself: http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/~ach/tmp/konsole-aa.png http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/~ach/tmp/konsole-aa-rev.png But I have no time to check if RENDER extenstion + qt provide a way for konsole to switch AA methods. > > > > reason why this hasn't been fixed yet?

Fixed here after updateing to qt from unstable.
