Re: [orca-list] What is QT and why would we use it?

[Christopher Chaltain <chaltain gmail com>]

Qt is an application development framework or toolkit. It's analogous to 
GTK+. Gnome is written with GTK+ as is some other popular desktops. KDE 
is a desktop manager written in Qt.

Qt is needed if you want to run an application written with this 
toolkit, such as Virtual Box.

My understanding is pretty rudimentary and I'm sure others can do a 
better job of explaining this.
