A Debian user hinted that the painting was totally screwed in experimental ( Qt 4.8 ). That's fixed in the new package: dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/q/qastools/qastools_0.17.1-1.dsc > I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me. Well, still true. Btw. the ITP is from 13th December :/. -- Sebastian
