Comment 82 for bug 905147

@reescf: we use a4 per default and the qt print dialog doesn't default to letter... did you set a4 in /etc/papersize? Also: Sure this is an upstream bug, but as in my filing on Launchpad, I'd say it doesn't matter. Those distros incorporate lots of patches to their packages so this is not excuse. What's more: The users don't care and they shouldn't have to. The patch doesn't fix the underlying problem but it does fix 99% of the annoyance. And with distros like Ubuntu and Arch, still behaving like douchebags in that matter, acceptance for Linux on the desktop takes a hit for affected users...

@Alex: I'll update it as soon as I've got some time for it... I also filed a bug on Launchpad against qt4-x11 and hopefully they incorporate the patch in their next release... It's gonna be an LTS release after all...
