I hear you, but by the definition of Tier 1 none of this can be used in Tier 1 frameworks because "Tier 1 frameworks depend only on Qt itself and no other Qt based framework". Of course, this means that Tier 1 frameworks will be very low-level and not offer some of the features we are used to in KDE libraries. But that's exactly the point of Tier 1. Regards, Ingo
