Hi,

To answer to the last part of your mail, I migrated the basket code to the
qgraphicsview/scene framework to reach two main goals:
- no more use of the Qt3 support classes (full Qt4/Kde4) to prepare a
future upgrade to Qt5,
- multi platform capabilities to allow people to build and run basket on
linux or windows (I wrote an old mail on the list to describe the build
process).

Now that Qt5 is out, it would be the good time to upgrade to this new
version...

Regards,

Lionel
