Thanks.
I do see some issues in the desktop test journal with multiple results per 
test.  Seems like we hit/fixed some of these some time back? I could be 
misremembering.

The desktop test journal also seems quite a bit smaller than the current 
(3.2+) builds generate. Is this a LSB test suite for < 3.2?

ls -l /opt/lsb/test/desktop/Qt/journal.qt

I haven't really done much testing of the pre-3.2 tests against newer Qt4.
Given the experience we had with the new tests against different versions 
of Qt4, I suspect the old tests would not fair too well against newer Qt4.
