It is not fixed in kdegraphics 3.3.1-1. I just downloaded the source
(apt-get source kdegraphics), and the kfax.cpp is the version dated July
12, 2004 which is in the tagged KDE_3_3_1_RELEASE. The fix was committed
to both KDE_3_3_BRANCH and KDE_3_2_BRANCH on October 16, 2004. The 3.2
branch was refixed on October 23.
