here is the mail from Matthias Ettrich:

This is from 1996. Windows 95 existed. Matthias suggested to use Qt, so 
there'll be a common widget set, and he proposed to develop (from the mail) a 
panel, a file manager, a mail client, a text editor and an image viewer. 
Nothing of that was new or disruptive in 1996, what was new was to do that as 
free software for UNIX/X11. Very concrete goals with a clear technical choice.
