        I'm a little late, but ad a busy day yesterday...

It seems to me like KDE-3 still does not like the new qt3 bindings...
During the "configure" run, kdebase prints the following:

        ================================================
checking for the HAL... headers -I/usr/include/hal  libraries -L/usr/lib
-lhal -lhal-storage
checking for DBus... headers -I/usr/include/dbus-1.0
-I/usr/lib/dbus-1.0/include libraries -L/usr/lib -
ldbus-1
checking for DBus-Qt3 bindings... searched but not found
checking if the HAL backend for media:/ should be compiled... no
        ================================================

as opposed to the result when the 0.62 version of the qt bindings is
installed alongside of the newer dbus...

I would guess that

a) it's been a while since KDE-3.5.7 was released, the developers of it
   probably didn't have to look at the newer bindings and make kdebase
   recognise them

b) all efforts of adaption to "the new things" like new xorg features,
   newer D-Bus versions will be done in the developing KDE4, as KDE3,
   while still the stable release version, is probably just maintained,
   not worked upon to accomodate to new developments like KDE4 has to.

I didn't talk to developers of KDE(y) though, so these are just guesses.
