Really? I would suspect that it would be possible to run krita under kde 
3.5 if the right libs and so are present -- at least on OpenSUSE it's 
possible to run KDE 3 apps in KDE 4, so the reverse should be possible as 
well.

Trinity maintains a fork of Krita 1.6, but they renamed it when I asked 
them to, since I don't want that version of Krita associated with the name 
"Krita". I don't know what they renamed Krita to, when they told me they 
had done it, I was satisfied and lost interest.
