Comment # 29 on bug 1123424 from Stefan Hundhammer

I completely agree that the GNOME people should fix that on their level.

But Qt could also do this a lot more defensively; AFAICS it would be a really
trivial patch to also check for a double if the int conversion fails:


https://github.com/qt/qtbase/blob/5.12/src/plugins/platforms/xcb/qxcbscreen.cpp#L323

static bool parseXftInt(const QByteArray& stringValue, int *value)
{
    Q_ASSERT(value != 0);
    bool ok;
    *value = stringValue.toInt(&ok);
    return ok;
}


Maybe something like (untested)

static bool parseXftInt(const QByteArray& stringValue, int *value)
{
    Q_ASSERT(value != 0);
    bool ok;
    *value = stringValue.toInt(&ok);
    if (!ok)
        *value = round(stringValue.toDouble(&ok)
    return ok;
}


(Even the rounding is already the de luxe version)
