Dear Maintainer,

On arm arch machines, the QWIDGETSIZE_MAX and QWIDGETSIZE_MAX return unexpected 
values
in /plasma/corona.cpp.  This affects the draw order of kde4 plasma desktop 
elements making
them very difficult and in some cases impossible to use.

This bug can be seen by trying to add a plasma-desktop widget in the K desktop
 environment on an arm based machine (Adaptiva Parallella in my case). The 
desktop widgets
cannot be dragged from the selection drawer to the desktop and moving the 
slider is very
difficult.

This relates to the upstream bug #282975 on bugs.kde.org
<https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=282975>

A patch for kdelibs' corona.cpp that fixes this bug can be found at:
<http://goo.gl/ph8OqQ>

A more in-depth description of the behaviour that causes this bug can be found 
at:
<http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/active/2013-November/007228.html>

I applied this patch to the debian kde4libs sources and built a new .deb, and 
can confirm the patch
does fix the behavior.
