[Pkg-hpijs-devel] Bug#482735: Fwd: Bug#482735: hplip should depend on python-qt3

[dwelch91]

HPLIP is still essentially a Qt3 application. hp-systray can OPTIONALLY use
Qt4... I did this because there is a system tray icon class in Qt4, and my
Qt3 system tray code is imperfect (I back ported Trolltech's Qt4 code, and
some things didn't translate completely). If a user has trouble getting the
Qt3 version of hp-systray to properly go into the system tray, the Qt4
version can be run with a --qt4 parameter (and, there have been users that
this has worked for). There is no REQUIREMENT for Qt4 in HPLIP, though.
