I have one request /question here. Qt-2.x doesn't support hebrew/arabic. This 
support will be added to Qt-3. I'd like to give people in Isral and arabic 
countries as soon as possible the opportunity to actually use KDE and try out 
the hebrew arabic support. As we (at Troll Tech) actually decided to stay 
mostly source compatible, would it be possible to include some #ifdefs in the 
KDE code to make it compile against Qt-3 more or less directly after KDE-2 is 
released and Qt-3 is in a halfway stable state? 

To make that clear: I *don't* want to move the whole of KDE development over 
to Qt-3. I'd prefer if most of the people stick with Qt-2.x but we should 
remember, that you can't use KDE in an arabic/hebrew environment until it is 
based on Qt-3, and that we want to get these people as soon as possible into 
using KDE (also because they might start using some other desktop environment 
otherwise ;-) )
