Thanks for noticing. This is fixed in r721. For some reason, the Qt 4.7
documentation doesn't specify the msecsTo function as new...

Thanks for the patch. I'm still not too sure about how to apply this,
though.
Could you send the RPMLint complaints?
I seem to remember that Debian lintian complained if there was no
shebang in the file.
Also, Tw does handle pdfs, so the pdf mimetype should be in there, IMO.
And regarding the Categories, I wouldn't classify Tw as a WordProcessor
(assuming this is interpreted as a "real" word processor, WYSIWYG-like,
such as OpenOffice.org Writer). That's why I didn't put it in that
category - but maybe my interpretation of the WordProcessor category is
wrong...

Cheers,
Stefan
