Building is one, working is another. I'm aware of at least one patch that will 
cause regressions with Qt 4.4. It removes layouting hacks to make 
QGraphicsLayouts update properly with 4.4. Those bugs have been fixed in Qt 
4.5.

I've also committed a similar patch today, but it was for code that's still in 
playground anyway, so it doesn't really count. 

Just to mention that we're in fact already relying on 4.5, even if it will 
still compile with 4.4.
