I see, you guys don't have time (motivation or whatever) to look closer
into this issue. At least I tried.

As to Ubuntu's popularity - I don't like Canonical nor Ubuntu - but I have
to use it cause it sucks less than other distros I tried out and regardless
of the platitudes about "popularity" we can get into - it's clear that
Ubuntu is so popular that Qt's devs shouldn't leave this issue
uninvestigated, since
the source code for Ubuntu's Qt4 version is open source and available you
guys could check if you wanted.
