I don't know if this is really possible.  The concept of how the
desktop works has been reworked and redesigned.  in a lot of cases
there simply isn't an 1 to 1 relation from the KDE3 way to the KDE4
way... in some cases the functionality is not there... others it's
been moved to a totally different place, and in others, it's a
completely new bit.  Being able to default identical to the old
behavior... would be difficult in many cases.

In your own software, the new features are likely new on top of
existing functionality... not a complete rewrite?
