Hmm, using a mixed kde3 kde4 setup is possible but you have to solve 
overlapping config problems. And a full-featured digikam 1.9 needs a lot of 
kde4.

So maybe its best to use the power of free software and use the code try to fix 
this error, as you said. But we need a full backtrace. And if someone really 
steps in and give a fix you need to collaborate with the port admin to insert a 
manual patch back into the port system.

I do not have high hope about this. Developer resources are limited and focus 
is digikam 2.0 and maintenance of digikam 1.x.
