1) Qt 4.x is not backward compatible with Qt 3.x
2) The API was redesigned to fix long standing issue that could not be
solved in binary compatible way and many new things were introduced or
dropped (because they are not in Qt)

But the KDE team tried to make it possible and easy to run KDE3
applications under KDE4 just because of the reason you wrote.
