[Qt-qml] QStyle & QML - bloat?

[Ville M. Vainio]

A QML application still loads up the "old fashioned" QStyle (e.g.
QGtkStyle or QMaemo5Style).

This appears to be useful in some ways (e.g. when loading up a file
selection dialog or for providing correct font), but otherwise it
seems like bloat. Esp. in the case of QGtkStyle & friends where Gtk
libs have to be mapped for the process.

I just worked around a bug in meego plain qt style (NB#196944 for
those that can see it) by using the "motif" style in my QML
application. This made the default font too small, and I'm lead to
think that we would do well to have some mechanism for providing style
information without using QStyle.

What's the story on this? Are there plans to make QStyle unnecessary
for QML apps, and provide a "lighter weight" mechanism for e.g. the
default font? Or is it all in the domain of Qt Components project
alone?
