If that is the "official" way, fine with me.

Ok, I'll try this next time, seems like a sensible solution.

I've also played a bit with the comment hjk gave me in [1] and it seems 
some of the changes can even be done for Qt5 - which is even better.

I hereby declare that for now I don't need a wip branch, as enough other 
possiblities exist.

Thanks for your time.

Regards,
André
