Hi JMarc, I'm not sure which statement you'd like explained. The statement I made was "After what I went through, I'd recommend that someone strongarm ALL variables to the Qt4 values, and not leave anything to chance.", so let me explain that one: If, by leaving an environment variable to its default, a qt3 value sneaks in, the troubleshooting necessary to find and fix the problem would exceed by a factor of 100 the time it would take to strongarm every variable to its qt4 value. Therefore, whether or not the default values *should* produce the right result, I'd recommend strongarming it.
