As I've mentioned before in the list, Fedora fixes are not coming. I'm
spending my time working on the QT 1.4 branch right now. The current
branch will be maintained as is + upstream fixes for now.

The Fedora + QT users is such a low amount of users, it's really not
worth it especially since FC6 compiles FC7/8 properly in most cases.
If someone wants to step up and rewrite the current spec files (and
send me diffs) then I will go ahead and release them.

I can't do it all myself.
