+commit 79c39f45468bace95169d1ba959884ce27087d1e
+Author: Torsten Rahn <rahn@kde.org>
+Date:   Wed Feb 8 17:18:15 2012 +0100
+
+    Fixes for Marble with Qt 4.8:
+    
+    - Provide proper colors for Marble's Atlas, Temperature,
+      Precipitation and Venus/Mars Topography maps.
+      ( due to introduction of QImage::fill( QColor ) overload )
+    
+    - Show proper icons for MarbleLegendBrowser
+      ( due to new interpretation of the "current directory" in
+        QTextBrowser )
