KDE builds on Qt.  KDE is Qt plus a bunch o'stuff, but you can still write 
standalone Qt applications.
GNOME builds on GTK.  GNOME is GTK plus a bunch o'stuff, but you can still 
write standalone GTK applications.

When YaST2 was designed, SUSE favoured KDE, so standalone Qt was the choice 
for a GUI-independent GUI frontend to YaST2.  On the KDE side we show the 
YaST2 modules in the (freedesktop.org) standard menu structure, and used to 
show them in Control Centre as well.  Personally, I hope we will be able to 
get them back in KDE4's System Settings.
