This is not a problem on *Ubuntus, Fedoras and other mainstream distros, it's
already compiled. I used LFS (manuell compilationa as oposite to Gentoo)
several years, and when I compiled apps like QT, I just did something else in
the meantime, like working, sleeping or whatever.
Many people
(including me) are using KDE4 and it's very clean and user
centric
i found it overtly hostile to basic tasks, like finding a web browser in an
app menu
plus it caused the boot-to-GUI proces to take 3 minutes no problem.
Why do some people still have problem using an app just
because it's a QT or KDE app? I don't get that.
because, at least on Gentoo, it requires compiling all of KDE and QT,
which can be a multi-day affair (compare w/ 5 seconds for dwm, 10 mins for
xorg, and 15 for webkit, a 'WebOS' system in a half hour)
then when you launch a KDElibs app, it launches 10 odd daemons, kdeserver,
dcop, etcetc, sucking 200 MB of ram
Perhaps you misunderstood me? I wrote apps (".. a QT or KDE app"), not
environment. :-) Gnome is neat and slick, I like it and many other people like
it, I just like KDE better.
Well, I can understand that people don't use a program because they don't like
it, or are using something that they think is better, but choose away an app
because of the tookit?. I don't like GTK and wxWidgets, but it's no way that I
stop using two of my favorite apps because their toolkits: Ardour (GTK)and
Audacity(wx). I even use wx on an Opensource project (SocratiMA) I'm working
on that will be finished by end of this year.

Messy? No way!
the hodgepodge of panels and default icons was certainly messy
