Maemo (and therefore the Nokia 770 device) uses X11 and there is no place for Qt/e
which does not use X. Qt/e emulation to get some software running on the maemo and the current
maemo compliant device is a great idea if it will work, if you ask me. However, replacing
the X11 with Qt/e / qtopia would be really bad idea (IMHO).

I have compiled both Qt3/X11 and Qt4/X11 for maemo. I haven't tried to put the Qt4 to the
device yet since it is quite huge with the default options.
