if you have the needed deps installed then they'd have no problem working.
the problems might arise when apps went from 3.5 to 4.1 and your distro
doesn't use the slotted installation. for example gentoo splits the 2
versions into completely different locations on disk so you might continue
to use whatever of the 2 versions you preffer. but other distros don't use
this same approach. you could recreate this by manually building the 4.1
branch and by setting a completely different location for it (for example
/usr/kde/4.1/ and /usr/kde/4.1/libs as gentoo does) if your distro doesn't
support both versions installed. i'm currently switching from 4-trunk to
3.5.9 whenever i'd like. i also can use kde4 apps into 3.5 environment. so,
if you have the right deps you can run both versions and run programs from
one version or another based on the one you like more.
Thanks, everybody, for the responses!
My takeaway then is that (for me) it is basically distro dependent. (I say
that because I am unlikely to install KDE 4,x other than by a distro upgrade,
or really, a new install.)
