Absolutely correct.

You'll need dbusxml2qt3 too which generates cpp-sources from NM's 
introspection files. It is included in dbus-qt3 from [2] but needs to get 
installed manually for now.

And you'll need some fixes for dbus-qt3 too which are currently only in SVN. 

Perhaps Kevin can create a new tarball?

- No, they are not backwards compatible but much nicer to use :)
- Yes, they can be coinstalled

Kevin, would you comment please?
Thanks :)
