Current movement in RG is to remove old dependencies and replace them with
newer tools which help developing RG further.
One could also think that the bits of KDE3 and QT3 code in RG are being
removed
because they will not be compatible with future versions of KDE and QT.
Because the RG-1.7 code is already mixed with KDE3 and QT3, favoring QT4
code
in the process is a natural choice, because KDE4 is based on QT4.
With this kind of choice we will try to make sure that RG will run also in
any KDE4
environment.
Because RG is not currently very tightly integrated to the desktop, could
you point out
where we should use KDE4 code and not QT4 code when removing KDE3 and QT3
from the current RG code?
