Qt

Nokia helps port Firefox to Qt (which is great news for KDE users) and Nokia adds Qt to Maemo. These news are not very surprising since Nokia acquired Trolltech last January. Is the long run plan in Maemo to switch completely to Qt? I would imagine that having two toolkits (i.e. Qt and GTK) increases the memory consumption (which is supposedly a bad thing in a mobile device) and also makes it more difficult to get unified look and feel among the applications.
