I've read something to the effect that libpng-1.4 is causing all kinds
of headaches even in mainline Gentoo (even without kde-sunset). It's
got me nervous to update... I still remember about ten years ago when a
libpng update completely hosed a FreeBSD desktop I was maintaining then.
Here we go again! :-/

Yes, indeed the new libpng-1.4 is breaking a lot of packages (think i read
sth. about relation to not using --as-needed or so on some gentoo-related
blogs ).
After fixing the qt-3 ebuild it still broke bluefish and some others....

For the time being i would suggest masking libpng-1.4... until this is
resolved.

Hello,

if you ask me, I'd say I already fixed it. Well, I may be mistaken. I
will test this patch tomorrow and commit update, if it works.

Does not seem to break anything, so I just pushed it.
