Thanks.
One more question, we currently carry,
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/qt5-qtbase.git/tree/qtbase-opensource-...
would you recommend keeping that in addition to 138201.patch (or dropping
it)?
I'm currently still carrying it, though if I read the proposed 138201
patch correctly, it should avoid that at any moment during screen
configuration change no screens are available, so the first part of
qtbase-opensource-src-5.5-disconnect_displays.patch should not be needed
anymore (though not sure what happens when you start an application
without any screens attached to the system and add screens later on). I
don't know whether the second part of the patch is still needed. But
neither change is in direct conflict with the proposed 138201 patch, so
it should not harm to keep it around until 5.6.
