My kde3 and kde4 are on different machines running 7_stable. 

That seems to be the major difference. I didn't like the way kde4 upgraded to 
4.3 and recursively rebuilt everything associated with x11/kde4. They fixed 
more things today that covered my kde4 machine. The changes didn't appear to 
change anything visible in my setup but you said the other day that you use 
something else.
