The buglog says it "might" be closed in 3.1.4. To me, that's not the same
as "believe"ing its closed. The developers reference says:
"Debian users will sometimes report bugs that are not specific to Debian
to our bug tracking system. You have to forward these bug reports to the
upstream developers so that they can be fixed in a future upstream
release."
And also:
"you should not close the bug until the package which fixes the bug has
been accepted into the Debian archive"
KDE is a large and complex set of packages, but that doesn't change the
rules of the BTS, IMO.
