Hi Paul

Haven't you got the story mixed up? I know you were there in those days, but 
from what I've been told, the LCD widget was added *because* Qt had no text 
rendering and we needed a way to show the score in the tetris game. So yes, it 
pre-dated text rendering, but there's a causal relationship.

In any case, I'm all for feature completeness and capturing the desktop 
experience in QML. Therefore, I support this change. Yet, I have to insist 
that we hear from Lars before accepting it.
