qt, not kde.

We might switch to Cairo instead of libart_gpl if that becomes a lot faster 
than it is. Scribus running with Cairo is a little slower than now but the 
API and some functions are already nicer. Cairo is freedesktop.org but is, I 
guess, slightly more gnome oriented perhaps, however so is libart_gpl. 
Nothing else really. Perhaps some common libs but I cant see any for now.
