Depends. You'll need to replace the .tar.gz sources, remove lots of their 
%patch, and modify the BuildRequires field ;)

Same as above.

Such as? I'm running Phoebe2 with many apps from apps.kde.org recompiled by 
myself, so far everything seems to be ok. The XFT2 patches in RH are 
of-course half baked and according to the rumors I heard, Trolltech warned 
Red Hat that if they don't stop those games, they'll remove RH QT RPMS from 
the supported list.

Thanks,
