Comment 4 for bug 249349

According to the bug comments upstream, this functionality works in the prerelease versions of KDE 4.3.
Since that's the case, I will be marking this bug as "Fix Committed". The bug will be marked fix released and will be closed once KDE 4.3 snapshots enter the development version of Kubuntu 9.10 next month.

Unfortunately, since we don't know what exactly fixed the problem, it will be unlikely that we will be able to apply fixes to our packages for Kubuntu 9.04.
