The "ostensibly" bit is the important part of your statement: yes, it's
entirely possible to write Qt applications without KDE libraries, but so
rare as to be thoroughly remarkable -- especially since I haven't seen a
credible app yet that uses Qt but not KDE libraries.  The potential for
an exception is the reason I said that Qt "generall means", not "always
means".

Good thing you weren't feeling that way, then.
