A nice name for a fork of Qt would be QTHE (Pronounced Cutie) The HE being
the first name of original founders of Trolltech - Haarvard and Eirik.
Fork the code, lets throw out the Crayons  and let Qt thrive on the
Desktop, Server, and Enterprise space.  Leave the mobile space to Html and
Java.

Just my small editorial
