naive/quick-n-dirty fix

replace 
QString tmp[x] = *it
with
QString tmp[x];
tmp = *it;

Produces compiler warning: ISO C++ forbids assignment of arrays

But this fix don't work with newer compiler versions, on gcc 3.3.5 this is a error and not a warning.

I never said it was a correct fix, just that it allowed the compilation to continue w/gcc-3.2.x.  Do you have a better suggestion?

Nope, not fixed, using gcc-3.2.3, RedHat Enterprise 3:

o.k. I have forgotten to backport the patch to kde 3.4.2. Did you tried SVN_HEAD? Did this version works for you? 

I backport this tomorrow.

I'm building kdepim-3.4.2 as released to packagers.

SVN commit 438561 by dkukawka:

- backport from trunk to prevent failure with older gcc (< gcc 3.3)
