Question of taste, having program in QT and Gtk+, I from far prefer
the QT framework.

Did you ever try to compile Kde and Gnome from source ? Kde compile
like a charm ( I try that on my old LFS), Gnome in comparison used to
be a nightmare (I haven't try to use gargnome though...). So speaking
of dependencies, Kde is much more neat.
