    I just want to point out, for those who do not already know, KDE is
not the same as Qt.  KDE is built using Qt.  I write most everything at
work using C++/Qt.  I do not use any KDE libraries.  I still get the
lovely printing, ftp, socket, mysql, etc widgets without having to run
any of the KDE stuff.
