The new Qt shouldn't give any problems with an existing KDE, as long as you 
put it in its own dir and leave the current Qt 2.x on your system for KDE.

However, Qt 3 is _not_ source or binary compatible with KDE, so you cannot 
run KDE using Qt 3.0 libs. IIRC even compiling isn't possible at all, or you 
should prepare for a _lot_ of hacking in autoconf, automake and the kde 
sources to get it compiled (not to speak about actually running...)

So, in short: forget KDE + Qt 3.0 in one app for the time being, but feel 
free to use standalone Qt 3 without KDE next to your KDE install...
