Good point. That is one reason I like Qt4 much beter than Qt3. For applications that don't need X, you don't pull that stuff in. Qt3 is a single monolithic library with everything, while Qt4 is a collection of 21 libraries. For something like kwriteconfig, it would probably only need libQtCore.
Thanks to both.
For you folks more experienced with coding TDE and Qt3, are there any clever ways to eliminate the overhead with the non X commands? Seems that would be more efficient and shave a few micro/millisecond response times here and there, especially for older hardware. :)
I doubt it. Porting from Qt3 to Qt4 is non-trivial, but the amount of work depends on the program. There's no way to eliminate X as long as Qt3 is used.
