This is not necessary in KDE. The position for the macro IS between the 
inline/static/virtual modifiers and the return value.

Qt is doing the same way for QT3_SUPPORT, even though that doesn't trigger 
warnings unless QT3_SUPPORT_WARNINGS is turned on.

Maybe we should have the same?
#ifdef KDE_DEPRECATED_WARNINGS
# define KDE_DEPRECATED Q_DECL_DEPRECATED
#else
# define KDE_DEPRECATED
#endif

This would allow us to *build* the compatibility methods and classes 
without those annoying warnings.
