No. When we still had separate ~/.kde and ~/.kde4 directories for the
configuration files, it was possible to change manually the
configuration files in ~/.kde in order to change the look of kde3
apps. Now it is not possible because the same files are used by kde4.
As a result, kde3 apps read kde4 settings, but since the options are
incompatible, they revert to defaults. For example when they read
widgetStyle=oxygen, they cannot find it and they load plastik, which
was the default in kde3.
