Hmm... for me Kivio starts and works with Qt 3 and KOffice HEAD. Please
try it and tell me what exactly is broken.

The answer is quite simple: As soon as 3.0 is out we can't change anything
in Qt's API and it will remain that way for a very long time. Therefore
it was a good idea to port now, in beta stage and have some feedback for
the trolls. This should help both of us, as KDE is a quite good "testcase"
to locate Qt 3 bugs (or changed behavior which hasn't been documented,...).

Ciao,
