I have been using qt-cocoa, and there are some general issues with it,  
like the loss of text tags when hovering over items in the canvas  
legend. I cannot change text color for text labels in the composer,  
and probably more stuff along those lines.

Additionally, I cannot seem to get my python plugins working at this  
point. I have the python console, but the plugins are not functioning,  
despite updating my install_name_tool post-build stuff. This, I  
believe, relates back to the unincorporated patch in ticket 1658. I  
will try applying the patch and see if it helps.
