In principle there could be a GDK port to use Qt, so the same *drak code
would work with both toolkits.

I have not seen rpmdrake freeze up, not like KDE apps :-) but that's
probably because I use a gnome desktop by preference.
But rpmdrake ported to Qt would probably "freeze up" in the same places.
It needs more asynchronous operations. At one point I thought about
using dbxml (a small, fast interface to XML documents, with a btree
index and dynamic hashing), which would probably make rpmdrake and urpmi
a lot faster, but the dbxml packages didn't even build easily on
Mandriva, and the rpm didn't install the perl API.
