Since TDE now uses TQt3, the old Qt3 libraries (unmaintained as they are!)
can be installed at the same time as TDE.  At this point I don't see any
serious drawbacks to changing the TQt API; would anyone consider it a
major problem if Trolltech had changed the Qt3 API?  We all probably would
have complained about it a bit and then moved on--how is this different
from the TDE project *improving* Qt3/TQt3 (e.g. adding proper threading
support) and changing the API as needed?
