Re: A gtk/kde-xemacs... a modest toolbar/menubar proposal...

Qt 2.0 (QPL) did change the political situation, as it is now under a certified Open Source license. However, the legal situation is exectly the same as before. The legal problem has never been with the Qt license, but with the GPL. It still depends on whether the law would consider Qt to fall under this clause: GPL> However, as a special exception, the source code distributed GPL> need not include anything that is normally distributed (in GPL> either source or binary form) with the major components GPL> (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which GPL> the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies GPL> the executable. An alternative to betting on what the law would say, is to get a "special exception" from the copyright holder.
