KDE in the description makes more sense, IMHO, than Qt. The same goes for GTK+ and GNOME. A user should know which enviromnent he picked -- while he may totally ignore that KDE is using Qt, for instance. Descriptions should only care, I think, about full desktop environment, not toolkit -- defined GUI style instead of libraries. If a software is only GTK+, not _for_ GNOME, there are many reasons to believe that this software does not follow the "tremendous" UI of GNOME.
