Why is KDE 4 for you no option? Does it not work for you? Or do you just
not like the concepts? The KDE developers are open for suggestions, as

Konsole 4's Profile handling is utterly broken. There are multiple
bugs open upstream about this, none of which has been commented on by
the developers. I don't see any interest of upstream in fixing these
issues.

I still hope that 4.4.3 will fix the krunner instabilities that were
introduced in 4.4.

These two issues make me wish to have kde3 back every single day. Eye
candy is important, which kde4 has more than kde3, but breaking my
bread-and-butter application that badly is a real turn-off.

Im using kde 4.4.3 and I rather like it. However there is a fork of KDE 3.5.x http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/
You could compile the packages yourself. Yes before i get flamed for it i know its ubuntu but however the code it freely accessible from the kde trunk so it would not be all that hard to compile it.
