You can answer that one yourself, a good start are security fixes which never 
made it into Qt3. To give you a headstart, I would not use SSL for anything 
from Qt3 since the certificates it shipped have never been updated -- and 
that's just a very recent one one can find without digging. There are so many 
security-critical components in there, it's not even funny. I'd strongly 
advise against using KDE3 nowadays, and would certainly not advertise it.

So yes, there are _real_ security problems when using KDE 3. It's basically 
one big brown paperbag filled brown paper bags.
