no, there's no support for filtering by app version.  No thought has gone into 
that that I know of, though Marble and at least one other app have asked for 
it (I can't remember which other one).

KDE 4.4 knewstuff just today got merged into kdelibs from the working branch I 
started and frederik so graciously completed.  There are still bugs to fix but 
it's very much more usable.  He also added a "installed" entry in the 
combobox, so you can see all installed items and check for updates/uninstall 
easily.

I hit the qt bug that makes kdelibs not build on 2 machines here today (I 
chose the wrong day to update qt I guess) Anyway, once I downgrade my qt 
checkout or whatever it takes to get stuff building again, I'll be testing kns3 
as much as possible this weekend.
