This is a misunderstanding. KDE3 will _NOT_ be threadsafe in general. By 
linking to qt-mt we take away the IMpossibilty to use threads in applications 
but there is no support for the use of threads in KDE itself whatsoever. 
Given that most of Qt isn't threadsafe this would be a near impossible task.
