I'm not sure what you're saying here - that there's some DB based
lookup table in QTopia 4.3 ?
Or is it, as I suspect, a coded message that all Trolls have
been laid off, the Qt sources destroyed, and that bulldozers
driven by senior Nokia management are, even as I type, moving
towards Trolltech headquarters ?
