Let me know of the consensus!
As you may have seen on https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/120431/ the consensus was in favour of a simplified patch, which I edited, tested and later committed on Thursday. It is regrettable that neither of our patches received a review from a KDE core developer who is familiar with the Dr Konqi code. Had that happened, things could have proceeded in a more orderly fashion and I am sure that your patch could have been shipped immediately, to fix bug 337742, and mine could have been refined and shipped within the KDE 4.14.3 or 14.12 timeframe. Frédéric, I think it is important that your fixes for the Dr Konqi test processes should go into KDE 4.14.3 or 14.12 and also into KF5.
