Both packages provide same file: >>> Installing (6 of 10) x11-themes/gtk-engines-qt-1.1-r1 * checking 8 files for package collisions * This package will overwrite one or more files that may belong to other * packages (see list below).

So now I will have to choose whether my gtk applications will look gkt'ish and no longer Qt-like in KDE 3.5 or in KDE 4? I have KDE 3.5.10 and (now) 4.2.2 installed on my system, till now both were working fine. But now with this unslotting attempt several things go wrong or become a huge pita. first, all those 'nifty' KDE acessory programms, e.g. amarok, digikam, I can no longer have both versions, one for KDE 3.5 and one for KDE 4 installed alongside so in one system they disappear from the builtin integration. So by attempting to be able to use KDE 4 and KDE 3.5 i will have to choose which system I want them in? It's simply wrong! KDE 4 applications belong to KDE 4 and KDE 3.5 allplications belong to KDE 3.5, they are both necessary for both systems.

Same problem after removing kdeprefix.
I hit it again with unmasking kdevelop beta (3.9.91), file collision with kdevelop 3.5.4. Both should be possible to be installed, only one is.
...correction, kdevplatform, but the background of missing prefixing-ability for kde3/kde4 programs is the same.
This one is fixed. All kde3 apps are now prefixed to /usr/kde/3.5/
