Re: [gentoo-user] qt3support issue solved

No, you *add* qt4 to your make.conf if you need it.

You probably still have packages that use qt3, so unless you want to unmerge 
them...

Think of it this way. Nobody in their right mind will ever get qt and gtk+ 
confused. You can have both and intermingle them, and the flags do not depend 
on each other.

Qt and Qt4 are just like that, they are that different. You cannot upgrade a 
Qt app to use Qt4 (unless you are willing to use some compat layer), just as 
you cannot upgrade a Qt app to use GTK+
