SSP-Bug patch for qt-4.1.2 !?

Gentoo Bugzilla 135265 describes a patch for qt-3.3.6-r1
that cures an SSP  
bug that I'm experiencing in qt-4.1.2 (kills my KDE
screensaver).

1. Is there a revised patch for qt-4.1.2?

2. If not, how do I update that patch? (e.g. download the
newer source,  
look for the same location, change the patch name to  
"qt-4.1.2-dirty.patch; put the old logic into the new
code?)

TIA (newbie)

No...  Are you sure it's using qt-4?  qt major versions are
slotted and
from qt3 to qt4 the library names have changed.

In an ideal world, yes - however in reality that code has
changed
dramatically from 3.3.6.

First thing to do is to run kdesktop_lock from a terminal,
and see
whether the error is the same.  Also do:

readelf -d $(which kdesktop_lock)

and see which QT version it links to - if the rpath
includes /usr/qt/3/lib then it's linking to QT3 not QT4.

Report any findings on the same bug.
