It facing many problems in file browsing specially in case of 
multi-partitions for example:
Gwenview can't browse files in "D" partion until the user type partition 
name manually because it consider that the root is "C" (see the pic plz) 
the disaster exists in case of portable disks. The user have to open "My 
Computer" to know the drive letters of existing disks (or partitions).



Umbrello couldn't generate files because it has problem in Windows paths 
(I forced to reboot my PC to kubuntu for generating process), and many 
applications too.

Another common problem is KDE graphics. Many KDE applications appears 
without PNGs or captions I can't discribe the problem well by writing 
but you can see Gwenview home page in the screenshot below



There are some of many problems describe KDE portability vs Qt.

You are absolutely correct I put GTK instead of Gnome, sorry.

Good & important point but what about cross platform & stability 
issues?! KDE applications not stable in Windows (for example) where it 
uses theses modules..
