Hi

Some context for the QT maintainers: This is about a bug in
owncloud-client which fails to reconnect to the server if the network
connection is lost. This is quite annoying because after every suspend
of your machine you have to restart the client because it does not
reconnect.

This bug in onwcloud-client is caused by a bug in QT. The upstream
bugreport is https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-46323.

There is a patch merged upstream, but it's not in any released version
yet: https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/121724/

I locally compiled QT with the fix applied and can confirm that this
fixes the oncloud-client issue for me. To be able to apply the patch I
had to pull in a second patch as a dependency:
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-47471
https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/123087/2

The patch to the Debian package I used is attached. Thanks for
considering this until a fixed version is released upstream. It fixes a
very annoying bug in owncloud-client.
