I think I said this before: why switch to using private and undocumented 
API? One should point out that the qplatformdefs.h were *not* introduced 
with the idea of defining those Q* macros in mind. It's a wild collection 
of "evil" platform-specifc header files. Those includes (like the ones for 
networking) are still there so the dangerous side effects (all kinds of 
ugly #defines from system headers) are still there.

kde_file.h on the other hand consists of namespace-clean KDE_* defines. If 
you want to replace that in favour of the Q_* defines I suggest to place a 
request with Trolltech to split qplatformdefs.h in two: one file for 
compat macros, one for risky #includes. Without that you are doing a step 
backwards in terms of code robustness.
