I agree that if it comes to look and feel a GTK app fits better to a 
Gnome desktop, and Qt apps fit better to the KDE desktop.

Audacity as well. AFAIK VLC can be compiled absolutely headless, so it 
seems they have properly divided front- and backend.

Qt4 is available as GPL software for Win, Mac and Linux directly from 
the Trolltech homepage, so licencing issues are past.
