By and large you can't do without it. It supplies a Qt3 interface from Qt4 so that Qt3 apps can run on Qt4. Note that it has nothing to do with KDE per se and everything to do with Qt. You likely have quite a few Qt apps that are not from KDE (skype comes to mind but I forget which Qt it uses nowadays). Try remove it by all means. If the ebuilds don't whinge it's worth a try. What have you got to lose? Compile Qt (about an hour), revdep-rebuild (another hour maybe) and some testing. BOINC will lose out on some cycles but there's enough users out there to take up your slack :-) -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
