Unfortunately there are some apps that do not have KDE4 replacements.
While I understand the Gentoo devs decision to drop the KDE3 desktop

Very true. Even if I use KDE 4 for the most part,
I would still have to have KDE 3.5 for the things I can't do in KDE 4.
I haven't installed the KDE desktop pkgs (I use Fluxbox),
but I'm having no problem using KDE 4 for most apps
-- eg Konsole Gwenview Okular Kshisen Speedcrunch -- ,
while retaining Kdelibs 3.5.10 & 3 apps not available in KDE 4
(Ksokoban Kworldclock not ported, Kmahjongg no removed-tiles display).
I just updated to KDE 4.3.3 & there doesn't seem to be anything wrong.
It appears that we use different things tho. The only thing in your
list that I use is Konsole. I don't use any of the other programs you
mention.
I have tried KDE4 and continue to test when it updates but there are
things that still don't work. I posted the issues on the KDE mailing
list and others reported the same thing so it is not just me or a config
problem. I'm just waiting on them to get it all sorted out.
I do know this, if KDE does their next update this way, from KDE4 to
KDE5, I'll be using something else. It's like telling someone that they
can trade in their car but they have to turn in the old one and drive it
with no windshield and some other good things to have for months while
they finish putting the new car together. That may be a bad analogy but
it was what I thought of.
