    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All QtGui users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-qt/qtgui-5.14.2"
    </code>
    
    <p>Note that the Qt suite is best kept in sync, so a world upgrade may be
      advisable to keep your system in a good state.
