I have minutes from the discussions.  I will merge that with the info from 
Pierre's and boud's mail to the ML and put it on the Wiki.  I'll do that 
tonight if I can make the network on the hotel work.

Review request for KOffice.

Changes
-------

Third version of the patch

Summary
-------

Here is the first patch in a small patchset that will add filters for the MS 2007 XML file formats. Note that I
am only the middle man here.

This patch adds the struct KoFontFace that is a public data structure representing a font style. It is saved
as a style:font-face element. Before this patch, only the font name was available, which was saved as a
style:name attribute of style:font-face. Also, svg:font-family was saved as a copy.

Now the old behaviour is still available but in addition, new attributes can be specified in order to make
the description of a font more accurate 
(style:font-family-generic, svg:font-style, style:font-pitch). These are needed for increasing
quality of import/export filters and is already used in the MSOOXML filters. The ODF specification
offers even more attributes.

The patch also contains fix for use of m_mainStyles->addFontFace() in two places, both in KWord.

From the packagers POV:
But how to do that if Krita comes in the same tarball as the other apps?

Is there a plan to have #ifdefs in Krita to support builds for OSes
that are based on Qt 4.5
(OK for those that agree with the degraded feature(s) or performace)?

I have put the list of issues on the wiki now:
http://wiki.koffice.org/index.php?title=Dockers/Issues

I also tried to find if the issues where already in Qt's bugzilla, but I 
couldn't find any.

I had a look (again) at the docker code in Qt, it is extremely hard to read 
(and not that well documented either...) so I am not confident that I will be 
able to fix anything on that list... So we will have to report them, and hope 
someone care to fix the issues at some point, and in the meantime, we will have 
to keep our work around, I am also going to experiment a bit on having better 
one though.

This is your choice of course and the discussion is not new.
It is 100% OK assuming:

a) all supported users are tablet users

b) there are no improvements in 2.2 other than tabled support

c) only users able to upgrade their OSes can benefit from advancements
made in Krita
    (not all users can: not all own the running computers, suboptimal
policies e.g. in schools can prevent that,
    or technically upgrade is not possible because the OS is based on
LiveCD/DVD/other readonly medium)

Why I am asking is not because _I_ cannot upgrade or I cannot help
others to do so:
I am trying to extract a more generic idea how to behave in such case
when we can offer the folowing options:
1. Stay with previous version of an app
2. Allow to devote some new features in exchange of giving some other new
(all the above assuming the option can be made with little development effort)

The answer we had previously on a similar issue (koffice1 coinstallable with 
koffice2) is simple; users that choose to upgrade their Krita from 2.1 to 2.2 
will have to upgrade their Qt at the same time.
I don't see any packager issues with that. I don't see any problems with 
people compiling either. Qt4.6.0 is out and available already today.

Please do. Better to have it done. :)

Thanks to all for your replies here!
