Comment 21 for bug 329659

> Another option might be to ask someone who is taking care of the qt-copy module. Maybe a patch could be added there...it's quite trivial. But since this is not a critical issue then I suppose that there must be really enough interest.

If you really want to go through the trouble: Qt development is totally open nowadays, simply clone their git master tree, write a patch and submit that as a merge request, see http://qt.gitorious.org/qt.
qt-copy will soon be removed.
