Bugs

This is a list of grave bugs and common pitfalls surfacing after the release date:

kdebase/kwin/kcmkwin/kwinrules fails to compile (if no --enable-final parameter is given) due to two errors:

• utils.h:164: error: 'QCString KWinInternal::getStringProperty(long unsigned int, long unsigned int, char)' used but never defined
  Solution: remove the word static in front of getStringProperty in utils.h
• detectwidget.cpp:59: error: too few arguments to function 'QCString KWinInternal::getStringProperty(long unsigned int, long unsigned int, char)'
  Solution: In the first occurrence of getStringProperty in detectwidget.cpp change char separator to char separator=0
