KDE is a desktop environment. It contains things like, a window manager (kwin), taskbar (kicker), desktop display, file manager/web browser (konqueror).
The KDE headers help you integrate with the K Desktop Environment, which uses the QT widget set (which is a set of widgets used for displaying windows). GTK is another widget set, and Gnome is an associated desktop environment (used the metacity window manager, I think it uses compiz or something now) On Thu, Sep 3, 2009 at 11:21 AM, Dos-Man 64 <[email protected]> wrote: > > In Linux Rapid Application Development by Cameron Hughes and Tracey > Hughes, the authors show c++ programming examples for QT and > (apparently) KDE programming libraries.
