To qt3support or to -qt3support

OK. I'm confused. Some packages require -qt3support, but some require +qt3support. Now what?! Am I SOL? I've been unemerging and reemerging split Qt pieces. So what's the recommendation here? It seems that KDE 4.2 requires +qt3support, but some others require -qt3support.

Revdep-rebuild is broken and it cannot detect broken libraries. I don't want to get into emerge -va1ret world every time I come across this trouble. Now please advice which one should I choose?

Edit: Yes, I've read this thread:

and threads pointed in the thread.

for me the problem mostly was that kde requires +qt3support, so I enabled +qt3support on the ebuilds emerge did tell (but not on the other qt-XXX ebuilds).
Now if there are some qt-XXX ebuild with +qt3support and some with -qt3support you run into conflicts.

Solution: either add qt3support globally in your make.conf or in package.use for *every* qt package that supports it.

This fixed it for me.
