If I upgrade KDE libs to 4.1 won't the KDE 4.1 apps will work?

As I said, I am not interested in installing complete KDE 4.1 desktop.

Downloding separately is second last resort ( last is compiling
myself). I am not lazy, but I want to keep away of this madness of
compiling everything.

I am interested in adding a repository which allows complete KDE 4.0
stuff to move over to KDE 4.1. Similar to as I got with Ubuntu 8.04,
from where I installed KDE 4.0 applications.
