Of course, this is the downside...

Me neither. So you think it'd better if the two versions evolved independently 
for code? Only "ideas" should be ported between the two versions? :)

Be aware that rewriting != refactoring, and usually takes much longer.

Nope...and I don't think the code can be made public right now...too 
embarassing.

KLibido is on cvs.sourceforge.net, and I think it should remain there.
KLibido4 can be placed anywhere: in the same repository as a subdir, or as 
another module, or on SVN or git. Dunno.
Questions: when will KDE4 be released? When will it be "universally" adopted? 
When do you think we could stop maintaining the kde3 version? Ok, I know, in 
fact I already stopped maintaining it a year ago or so :-\ ;-]
