My vote is clearly on requiring 2.4.7 for KDE 4.0.

This problem happens for example for every KDE 4 developer who has an Ubuntu 
or a Debian installation on an amd64 machine that includes Ubuntu/Debian's Qt 
4 packages. Having the Qt 4 packages installed is a matter of installing one 
of about 30 Qt 4 based packages, including popular ones such as the lastfm 
player or wengophone. So yes, I think it's easy to run into this problem and 
I'm therefore all in favour of requiring 2.4.7.
