Dolphin is a KDE application, it relies on the kdelibs and probably kded and maybe another kde-session-daemon. A Qt application does not have these dependencies. Try staring Skype, VLC or Google earth from Gnome and you will see that they load fast and integrate well, if you use the cleanlooks or QGtkStyle. They will run as single process, and no not need to have even kdelibs installed. Qt != KDE... Qt libs != kdelibs.
