I understand you meant that but the name is GNOME (which is a
shortening). I thought that the distributed package was named 'qt' and
not qt-<backend>. Just as Gtk+ isn't distributed gtk+-x11, in Gtk+ 2.0
all backends are going into the same tarball and you choose (with
configure-flag) which backend to build.
