Ok, let me be more specific then.

Since QT is not just a language binding to gtk/hildon, but rather an independent toolkit in it's own right...

Is there equivalent and finger sized QT widget for the following hildon widgets?
- hildon banner
- hildon confirmation note
- hildon dialog (with buttons on the bottom right side in landscape)
- hildon app menu (i.e. two column finger sized view menu)
- hildon time picker (not the legacy one)
- hildon date picker (not the legacy one)
- hildon picker button
- hildon touch selector
- hildon stackable window
- hildon entry (including the possibility for placeholder text)
- hildon edit toolbar (as used in the edit mode view)

See https://projects.maemo.org/svn/af/projects/hildon-widgets/trunk/src/ for details of the hildon widgets.
