Ubuntu's deb package just puts 'libsni-qt.so' in the qt4 plugins directory and 'sni-qt.conf' in '/etc/xdg/'. It has no pre-/post-installation script.

"Constructive interaction" can be interpreted arbitrarily. IMO, usability should take priority. Particularly when maintainers don't use Debian (as their primary system), it's natural to expect that they will listen to those who do. Listening doesn't mean arguing with them that what they need is against this or that principle.

Bug#712938: sni-qt -- Indicator support for Qt
This is my 64-bit package at last: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7793460/libqtgui4_4.8.7%2Bdfsg-1_amd64.deb I made it with the patch in question in addition to the standard Debian patches for qt4-4.8.7+dfsg-1, under Debian Testing. It works well for me under both Enlightenment and KDE (although my KDE doesn't need it yet). If you want to install it, please do so under a non-Qt environment (IceWM, for example) -- but before that, download the original package for manual installation with "sudo dpkg -i" in case anything goes wrong. I ACCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY and will remove the link after a while (but you could put it somewhere else). All in all, it's weird that in spite of Dave's and my early warnings, this problem still arose. Isn't Debian a community-based distro?

You should install the nVidia deb packages instead. Try the experimental repository for that but always have a light environment like IceWM if something goes wrong.

Clean compilation and deb packaging is easy (maybe not for CPU though): (1) Get the source and the debian folder from: http://http.debian.net/debian/pool/main/q/qt4-x11/qt4-x11_4.8.7+dfsg.orig.tar.xz and http://http.debian.net/debian/pool/main/q/qt4-x11/qt4-x11_4.8.7+dfsg-1.debian.tar.xz (2) Copy the (attached) patch to debian/patches and also add its full name to the end of debian/patches/series.

I'm on Testing but the qt4 version is the same (4.8.7). With the 2-core CPU of my desktop computer, compilation would take 2 hours; hence the interruption. My laptop's CPU is far stronger but I'm not sure about the cooling system.

Your argument is that of principles against usability. People USE Debian. The principles are important, of course, but as far as they don't interfere with usability. You speak about "dead code" as if Qt4 has totally disappeared. As you know, there are and will be so many Qt4 apps.

As far as I know, no change will be needed with Qt5 >= 5.4 for the systray icons to work. sni-qt may be "dead-upstream" but Qt4 is so too and yet there are so many Qt4 apps.
