None. |

Indeed. |

Correct. |

A KDE user with -gstreamer -icu set, should not have problems. But |
| 42 |
once gstreamer is set for HTML5 audio/video support (which qt-webkit |
| 43 |
enables by default on users request), the problem with -icu blocking |
| 44 |
chromium appears. I still have no idea how many Qt (including KDE) |
| 45 |
users also want chromium though. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
For the time being we have decided to leave the useflag defaults as-is. |

I have added a new part to our FAQ on the wiki, so users can be pointed to that: |
