It's not a question of love. The GNU project has chosen to support GTK
(because at that time Qt was not free, because it was felt that using C++
for such a library was not a good idea and also because...) and so it is
considered more relevant to make GNU software such as Emacs work well with
GTK than with Qt.
If the Qt code is under GPL, I see no reason why XEmacs couldn't have a Qt
version (without even asking RMS) as long as that version "is targeted at
the GPL version of Qt".
I think it's _very_ interesting to have a qt version of XEmacs, mainly
targeted to those of us who use KDE or prefer KDE applicacions, which
are an important part of linux users community. Since KDE is GPLed,
and is only on UNIX (AFAIK), I can't see where is the problem. Maybe
converting XEmacs into a KDE application instead a raw Qt application
whould make the integration smoother and resolved any GPL problem.
