Is there a way to get a kde3 color scheme into kde4?

I don't recall KDE3 had any setting for tooltip color...
/me checks
Nope, not one that is exposed in kcontrol at least. Qt might have one. I
may even recall early Qt4 had only one of fg/bg, or used it wrongly, or
something. At any rate I know I'd lobbied for fixing something here in
Qt4 some time back.

Actually Thunderbird appears to totally ignore the tooltip colors and
use window colors for tooltips (or else that's how KDE4 exports them; I
didn't write the export code and don't claim to understand it one bit).

That I don't know. Might want to ask on kde-devel; as said, I didn't
write and don't understand how the non-KDE-export works. All the gtkrc
stuff is beyond my area of knowledge :-).
