Yes I have. I was unable to build Mozilla with the cairo-qt option because
it was unable to detect Qt4's moc. Even after uninstalling Qt3 and
reinstalling Qt4, moc still was never detected. No, wait, Qt3's moc was
detected but it caused problems building cairo-qt, so I uninstalled it and
discovered that it wasn't able to detect Qt4's moc. I had to temporarily
export /usr/lib/qt4/bin to $PATH to make it get detected.
