20 The best way would be for you to test qt 3.1 right now, it's in portage and
21 working very nicely. It's a clean upgrade from 3.0.5 (no recompiles or
22 anything required) and you can go back to 3.0.5 easily afterwards if you want
23 to - it's just a question of compile time either way.
24
25 I do have to say that the problems described in kde bug #44993 don't seem to
26 be gone, but that is from a cursory perusal of the code (I can't reproduce
27 the bug itself) so it's really best for you to test. Everyone will likely be
28 upgrading to qt 3.1.0 in a few days anyway.
29
30 As for qt 3.0.4, if you really want it, just copy the latest 3.0.5 ebuild to a
31 qt-3.0.4.ebuild and it should work. (You may have to disable the Korean patch
32 though.)
