[Interest] KDE's qqc2-desktop-style

[Jason H]

So I wrote the maintainer. He was amenable to it becoming a standard but cautioned that it's not the panacea that it seems to be - at least in its current form. However he thinks that if it were to become part of Qt the issues could be addressed by the Qt project.  He also stated that it had been discussed here and it was determined that there were "other plans" within Qt. But it seems that those never materialized? So maybe this should be reconsidered?

The severe limitation is that because of QStyle, it need to be linked with Widgets, which in turn requires QApplication instead of QGuiApplication. However I don't know why QStyle can't be copied into QtQuick for this one purpose. It only inherits QObject...
