The qt3to4 sucks for ui files. My advice is to simply do the forms from 
scratch in designer4. I have ended up doing this for every single form 
in projects when porting them to qt4.

You also have to change the code to work with the new uic code style. 
But it's worth it. The uic code model is superior in every way to the 
ugly beast that is designer/uic in Qt 3.

If I read you wrong, and you still need Qt 3 support, then you're going 
to be on your own. Qt 3 is so old it's not used any active project I 
know of. However, I have heard something about an active Qt 3 community. 
People do weird things with free software :)
