IMO no. I think there is a perceived difference because so many things 
take the presence of gtk/glib for granted, but I also don't think the 
scope of those dependencies is that much "lighter" than Qt, if at all.

I suspect distros wouldn't complain about that :-).

Somewhat OT, but one thing I would really appreciate is if I could 
install kcalc without dragging in the entire bulk of cups due to 
printer-applet. (This is partly a Fedora problem, however; IOW, I wish 
they'd split kdeutils - and, for that matter, kdepim - into smaller bites.)
