Is anyone experiencing problems with qt4.5.3? My desktop seems a lot slower and I am having many weird problems:
-I have a usb mouse+keyboard the mouse sucks so I have a 2nd mouse but at times it will just fail to respond. no problems at all in xfce or gnome with this mouse
-opera qt4 just seems broken even with the glib event timer patch (http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt/commit/0e ... b43fc30449 ), when opera is updating a tab it will not respond to other input (it it loads a tab in the back groundm I close another tab and see the button depressed and nothing happens, I stop that tab from refreshing and all commands are executed, ie all tabs closed etc,..)
-the desktop seems sluggish
-the during it only uses part of the screen and it is very slow
-the desktop in general seems much slower and unresponsive

before these patches qt 4.5.3 was completely unusable but still problems remain

You may wish to try upgrading to Qt 4.6.

I dont want to, to difficult but maybe I can point my distro to a patch....

If reverting to Qt 4.5.2 fixes you problem, you may wish to file a bug report with your distribution, assuming they officially provide the packages through their repositories.

this would be just as problematic as upgrading, though I know people from other distros reported success with this, downgrading a package, let alone which is no longer available in the repos is not easy...

The following patch to qt solved the problem
