By and large you can't do without it. It supplies a Qt3 interface from Qt4 so |
14 |
that Qt3 apps can run on Qt4. |
15 |
|
16 |
Note that it has nothing to do with KDE per se and everything to do with Qt. |
17 |
You likely have quite a few Qt apps that are not from KDE (skype comes to mind |
18 |
but I forget which Qt it uses nowadays). |

Try remove it by all means. If the ebuilds don't whinge it's worth a try. What |
21 |
have you got to lose? Compile Qt (about an hour), revdep-rebuild (another hour |
22 |
maybe) and some testing. BOINC will lose out on some cycles but there's enough |
23 |
users out there to take up your slack :-) |
