The Qt3 compatibility stuff is there to make the transition from Qt3 to
Qt4 a bit easier.

You just can't linkt your application against Qt4 and Qt3 at the same
time and if you use KTextEditor interface from KDE3 you do link against
Qt3.

Code-Completion has been largely re-worked in 3.4, so you should try it
again. Also something like selecting such files would be a wishlist item
for KDevelop4, 3.4 is in feature freeze.
