There's a patch here that reverts a nasty regression in kdelibs. I tried to create a Gentoo-ready patch myself, but failed. http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=123796
herd: Patch is ready, does anyone have another bug on the list, so we don't add with too much revision bumps?
kdelibs-3.5.2-r1 fixes this.
