Well, it seems that sooner or later, the dependencies on glib will be forced. 
As said by Tim Jasen in kde-devel@kde.org 
http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-devel&m=103885707514808&w=2 the GNU tools will 
depend on glib so, *everything* will depend on glib.
I don't think that's bad for KDE, but I can't say about Qt.
I think that the accessibility part may be optional and depend on glib, 
anyway, if glib is not there, there's no accessibility at all. I still would 
like the plug in way, but it seems that's not good for Qt either... so, I 
don't know, it is up to TrollTech how Qt will implement accessibility in 
Unix. For me, anyway is ok. I'm working very hard on Proklam right now and 
I'm a bit stuck waiting for answers from the Festival team. But in a week, I 
may be back to work in general accessibility and I'd like to make some 
choices about what we're going to do before that.
Thanks.
