It's a good idea. There are a number of ways to go about it. One is to take the documented Qt interface and implement it on top of a number of widget sets. In fact, since they have already implemented it on some, we could just start with the others and be perceived as adding value to Qt and programs that use it such as KDE. Another way to do it is to go with another, already free, toolkit. I'd suggest wxWindows for this (do a web search on "wxWindows", and someone just contributed a wxWindows-on-X package to Debian). There is an existing wxWindows implementation for curses, but it is back several revisions from the current wxWindows version. The disadvantage is that you'd have to write wxWindows desktop tools rather than use the existing KDE ones. Rather than use curses, try s-lang and its terminal support. It's smaller and simpler.
