KDE is heavily based on Qt. Most of the KDE libraries that have the
same name as the Qt library are just extended versions of the Qt
library.

kapp.h for example contains KDE enhancements for desktop integration
and includes qapp.h itself.

KDElibs is quite extensive and is now being used for cross platform
development as a way of getting additional functionality not available
in Qt. It builds on Qt.
