Hello everybody,

while Alan and I were chatting with the upstream developer of trojitá 
(our soon-to-be email app on the phone), he mentioned the following set 
of bugs:

  * https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68056
  * https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTCREATORBUG-9978
  * https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-32760

and mentioned the following:

  <jkt> dholbach: tag 0.4.1 is OK, 0.4.0 doesn't contain that fix,
        unfortunately that's about libxkbcommon bringing problems
        on the desktop
  <jkt> dholbach: you might want to ask the Qt guys about that
        library; my impression is that given it's a pretty new stuff
        and AFAIK nobody but Qt5 uses it, the old releases might be
        rather buggy

We are currently at libxkcommon 0.3.1, Debian has 0.4.0. Timo Aaltonen 
in #ubuntu-x was very helpful, did a test-build of 0.4.1, pushed it to 
Debian git and to https://launchpad.net/~tjaalton/+archive/test

As Mir depends on it, and it'd require an archive admin review (new 
binary package) and a FFe, it'd probably be good if the Mir developers 
could take a quick look at it and see if it's all right.

Thanks a lot everyone in advance.

Have a great day,
  Daniel
