+    \title Known Issues in %VERSION%
+    \ingroup platform-specific
+    \brief A summary of known issues in Qt %VERSION% at the time of release.
+
+    An up-to-date list of known issues with Qt %VERSION% can be found via the
+    \l{http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/}{Qt Bug Tracker}.
+
+    For a list list of known bugs in Qt %VERSION%, see the \l{Task Tracker}
+    on the Qt website.
+
+    An overview of known issues may also be found at:
+    \l{http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/pages/QtKnownIssues}
+    {Known Issues Wiki}.
+
+    \section1 Installation Issues
+
+    \section2 Installing the Source Package on Unix systems
+
+    \list
+
+    \o  If you download a Zip source package, you will need to convert
+        Windows-style line endings (CR/LF) to Unix-style line-endings (LF) when
+        you uncompress the package.  To do this, give the "-a" option when you
+        run the "unzip' command.
+
+    \o  If you fail to supply the "-a" option when unzipping the package, you
+        will see the following error message when you attempt to execute the
+        configure command:
+        "bash: ./configure: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory"
+
+    \endlist
+
+    \section2 Installing on Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard"
+
+    \list
+
+    \o Performing a new install of the Qt 4.6 beta on Snow Leopard
+       triggers a bug in the installer that causes the install to fail.
+       Updating an existing Qt installation works fine.
+
+    \o There are two workarounds, either disable spotlight for the target
+       drive during the install, or do a custom install where you deselect
+       documentation and examples. Run the installer again as a full
+       install to get the documentation and examples installed.
+
+    \endlist
+
+    \section1 Issues with Third Party Software
+
+    \section2 X11
+
+    \list
+    \o  There is a bug in the 169.xx NVIDIA drivers on certain GeForce 8 series
+        cards that is triggered by the OpenGL paint engine when using QPainter
+        on a QGLWidget to draw paths and polygons. Some other painting
+        operations that end up in the path fallback are affected as well. The
+        bug causes the whole X server to repeatedly hang for several seconds at
+        a time.
+    \o  There is an issue with NVIDIA's 9xxx driver series on X11 that causes a
+        crash in cases where there are several \l{QGLContext}s and the extended
+        composition modes are used (the composition modes between and including
+        QPainter::CompositionMode_Multiply and
+        QPainter::CompositionMode_Exclusion). This affects the composition mode
+        demo in Qt 4.5, for example. The crash does not occur in newer versions
+        of the drivers.
+    \endlist
+
+    \section2 Windows
+
+    \list
+
+    \o  When using version 6.14.11.6921 of the NVIDIA drivers for the GeForce
+        6600 GT under Windows XP, Qt applications which use drag and drop will
+        display reduced size drag and drop icons when run alongside
+        applications that use OpenGL. This problem can be worked around by
+        reducing the level of graphics acceleration provided by the driver, or
+        by disabling hardware acceleration completely.
+
+    \o  With NVIDIA GeForce 7950 GT (driver version 6.14.11.7824), a fullscreen
+        QGLWidget flickers when child widgets are shown/hidden. The workaround
+        for this is to use \l{QWidget::}{setGeometry()} with a width/height 1
+        pixel bigger than your geometry and call \l{QWidget::}{show()}.
+
+    \o  A bug in the Firebird database can cause an application to crash when
+        \c{fbembed.dll} is unloaded. The bug is fixed in version 2.5.
+
+    \o  On Windows 7, resizing windows is slower than on Vista/Xp. This is because
+        the gesture initialization process (required for native gesture support)
+        currently calls winId() on widgets, which causes whole widget hierarchies
+        to use native window handles. This slows down resizing.
+
+    \o  Compile errors with Intel C++ Compiler.\br
+        There seems to be a bug in the Intel compiler with respect to
+        over-agressive inlining of code.
+        The problem will manifest itself during the link phase of QtGui where
+        it fails with the error that it cannot find QObjectData::~QObjectData().
+        See \l{http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-5145} for updates on this
+        bug.
+        Also, due to some bugs in WebKit, the QtScript and QtWebKit modules
+        will not compile.
+        See \l{http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-6297} for a
+        workaround for QtScript.
+        
+    \endlist
+
+    \section2 Mac OS X
+
+    \list
+
+    \o  If a sheet is opened for a given window, clicking the title bar of that
+        window will cause it to flash. This behavior has been reported to Apple
+        (bug number 5827676).
+
+    \endlist
+
+    \section2 Symbian
+
+    \list
+    \o  Check known issues for Symbian at
+    \l{http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/pages/QtKnownIssues} {Known Issues Wiki}.
