Just my guess: I notice the calls to Qt3 are not through the TQt layer but directly to Qt3. For example, QStringData rather than TQStringData, QColor rather than TQColor, etc.

Make sure you rebuild Qt3 from the Trinity sources (Qt3-3.3.8.d), TQt, and are using the 3.5.13 tarballs. Make sure you are not building to the same PREFIX as KDE4 or KDE3.
