Have built it successfully with QT4 and as Len says - it seems to work.
The look it quite different though. I have uploaded it to
ppa:ubuntustudio-dev/dev-testing if you want to give it a spin.

I tried to see if there was some other patch we could apply from the QT
bug tracker or something. But there is so much misinformation about
different systrays, notification areas, I could not find anything concrete.

I can't see any rationale for that 44.1 setting in the changelog, but
unfortunately, after the Freeze starts we can only really fix bugs.
Let me know if you think I should hold off, otherwise I will try and get
it sponsored later.
