After reading your post I've performed a small test to evaluate how the 
current incantation of Qt (v4.8.1) and g++ (v4.6.3) handled conversions 
between objects of type QString and std::string, and it appears that 
QString::toStdString() and QString::fromStdString() now work as 
expected.  Nicely done.
