I disagree with that. Applying a patch doesn't require any working knowledge
of programming. Your second point may be important for some software that
needs it. I modified insight a lot, and changed some stuff in metis, yes I do
think that you may need to make some changes yourself. However, in KDE's case
I really don't think you need to go beyond the usual configure/build/install
routine.
I've done my share in making sure that KDE3 builds properly by committing a
few build fixes. :)
