The reason we don't release Qt 4.4.4 is that we don't have time to go 
thought all the usual Q.A. check. So i can only tell you what's in our actual 
tree and has been reviewed at least once :

I browsed all the patches:  here are those that are in our Qt 4.4.4 repository 
and should then be safe:

0253-qmake_correct_path_separators
0254-fix-qgraphicsproxywidget-deletion-crash
0260-fix-qgraphicswidget-deletionclearFocus
0262-fix-treeview-animation-crash
0265-fix-formlayoutcrash


0256 is not related to the task it claims.   but IIRC we had adressed this 
issue but not with this exact patch.  I don't know wether this patch is 
required or not, but according to  Szymon Tomasz Stefanek  it solve a 
frequent crash in KMail with Qt 4.4.3


Patches that are in Qt 4.5: 
0203, 0238, 0242, 0250, 0257, 0261, 0263, 0264

Patch that have not been looked yet:
0216, 0225, 0226, 0231, 0234, 0251, 0255

Others: 
0167: a similar fix is in Qt 4.5
0180: rejected
0195: I don't know if it has been reported
0224:  doesn't seems to have been reported, but the code is not the same 
anymore.
0245:  I don't know if it has been reported
0248: A Modified version is in Qt 4.5
0249:  no idea but probably in
0258: has been rejected
