Re: N900 / Media Player / Random play really random?

[Ben Roe]

Surely the music player should shuffle the list, not just play random tracks 
from it? I don't think anyone wants random duplicates in one session.

QGraphicsView Overshoot

[Ben Roe]

I'm working on an Qt 4.6 Maemo application that uses a QGraphicsView as its 
main view. For various UI reasons I'd like to be able to disable the kinetic 
scrolling negative overshoot effect so the user can't scroll past (0,0), but I 
haven't been able to figure out how.

I see there's a private setting in QAbstractScrollArea maxOvershoot - does 
anyone know of any public way to achieve what I'm trying to do?

Many thanks,
Ben

Broken Qt Packages?

[Ben Roe]

Apologies if this is answered elsewhere, but is anybody else unable to install 
the Qt4.6 packages from the Extras Devel Maemo repo? I've got all the repos in 
my sources.list, but:

apt-get install libqt4-maemo5-dev

currently gives an error about "Broken Packages" because of dependency 
problems. It looks like qt4-dev is 4.6.2, while qt4-core is 4.6.0.
