Should be no problem (other than below) in compiling against that
snapshot.

My Qt sources (SuSE and I assume RH, since it compiled here) have
the following:

in qlist.h (has one):
--------------------

    #include <qptrlist.h>

in qptrlist.h:
-------------

    <QPtrList declarations>

    #define QList QPtrList

As can be seen from the above, there is no difference except name
between QList and QPtrList. Regardless, that should be changed in
the PyKDE sources for KDE >= 3.0.0. Actually, I thought I had
caught all of those. I should have seen those flagged when
generating new code.

In each of these, you'll need to change QList -> QPtrList and
qlist.h -> qptrlist.h where they occur (that means inside the
%MappedType blocks too):

khtml_part.sip
khtmlview.sip
kmainwindow.sip
kprocctrl.sip
kurifilter.sip
kuserprofile.sip

kmainwindow.sip would be the first you'd encounter when building.
The rest of the occurances appear to be properly versioned out, or
the sip files aren't included in the build for KDE 3 versions For
example, any QList/qlist.h preceded by:

   %If ( - KDE_3_0_0 )

won't be seen if you're building with KDE >= 3.0.0 (it's
effectively the same as '#if KDE_VERSION < 300' in C++). Also, if
you don't see KDE_3_1_1 at the top of the sip file in the comments,
that sip file won't be seen when you build for KDE 3.1.1.

I'll try to fixup the build.py bug noted in an earlier post and this
one and put out a new release somewhere around the middle of the
week (taxes next couple of days).
