It works pretty well whenever I've used it. No code is bug-free, and few 
implementations of W3C standards are truly complete; these are not 
reasons to throw it away.

A couple of people have already suggested that they might help. I don't 
have the graphics skills myself. But I was wondering whether we could 
make the case to the Nokia/Qt team themselves that they should 
un-deprecate it.
