I'am also a newbe, but i think Ilkka is right.

Why do you have to do everything like trolltech? as far as i know Qt doesn't 
use namespaces because Qt runs on embeded systems too.

and at first kde itself should be constent. this means: use namespaces 
everywhere or nowhere. everthing else is confusing...
