           Product: libqt3
         Component: program
           Summary: Please move qtconfig from libqt3-devel into libqt3 [or
                    libqt3-common]
           Version: 3.1.1-9mdk
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


qtconfig is not a developer program, it is a user program that configures qt,
handles font substitutions and the XIM Input Style, among other things.
It is essential for users of the CJK languages to be able to configure the XIM
input style.

A user program does not belong in libqt3-devel since the package depends on
mysql and a bunch of other packages. Furthermore, it does not belong in
/usr/lib/qt3/bin -- it should be moved or sym-linked into the standard user path.

I believe that Korean users want on-the-spot input style for the XIM, Japanese
users want over-the-spot. I had a brief discussion with GC about the role of
localedrake in all of this and his point was that localedrake only provides sane
default values. The user should then use the general configuration utilities to
modify those values.
In this case, the general configuration utility is qtconfig and it simply isn't
sufficiently accessible to the users!
