the policy about our tools is to use perl, and: - currently there seem to be no decent perl-Qt binding - we already have a code base extending perl-Gtk to get a usable toolkit (my_gtk) - we already have a code base providing abstraction in the config tools for implementation into Gtk, Newt and stdio (interactive) adding that: - libgtk+ is about 794103 bytes (try to remove libglib from your system) while libqt is 2878170 bytes - gtk+ seems more desktop agnostic than qt (i know this is partially moot, that's why i said "seems") and is used by more agnostic apps than qt - developers of mandrake have better knowledge of gtk+ than qt i think this is too late to switch provided the small advantages it has. -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/
