~/.config/Nokia isn't used by Qt itself, only by Qt Creator. Qt itself uses an 
older naming: ~/.config/Trolltech.conf.

~/.config/Nokia is so far used by a single application and there's not much 
need to have two versions of Creator in your system. If you can delete the 
older version of the application, removing the settings is ok too. I recommend 
you stick to the latest version of Creator that you can find or build.

Yes. KDE 3 requires Qt 3 and KDE 4 requires Qt 4.

Sounds like a bug that has been fixed :-)
