20 I understand you meant that but the name is GNOME (which is a
21 shortening). I thought that the distributed package was named 'qt' and
22 not qt-<backend>. Just as Gtk+ isn't distributed gtk+-x11, in Gtk+ 2.0
23 all backends are going into the same tarball and you choose (with
24 configure-flag) which backend to build.
