I'm installed from scratch this weekend, so everthing is as new as it
could be, XFree 4.1.0 thus. The qt3 problem is not limited to gentoo,
I've had it too on Rocklinux and Redhat 7.2 and it's been acknowledge on
the Trolltech's mailinglist by several users. I guess this can only be
resolved by Trolltech in the next version. As a sidenote, AA works
perfectly with Qt2 and with the X test programs, thus in my case it has
nothing to do with the system.

Good luck, I hope you find it. I'm planning to have a look at GdkXft
soon to add AA support to Gtk 1.2.
