I think the real question is will Cannoicle (sp?) support 3.5.10. The 
answer appears to be no. I would be a little surprised if someone out 
there doesn't write a "how to". I can't see what dependencies 3.5.10 
would have that won't be met by 4.2. So it should be relatively easy. It 
seems like you will have to add a new repository that has the 3.5.10 
packages, and install it.
I do know that 8.10 started using .kde as folder for kde 4 properties 
(in older versions they had been using .kde4.) so there might be some 
setting collisions.
I bet it will come if we are patient.

To be or not to be, that is the question
                2b || !2b
(0b10)*(0b1100010) || !(0b10)*(0b1100010)
        0b11000100 || !0b11000100
        0b11000100 || 0b00111011
               0b11111111
        255, that is the answer.
