nono. that's an irrelevant comparison. if you install a tape deck and a
CD player in your car, you can listen to CDs and casette tapes. there's
no problem about the CD player not supporting casette tapes. all that
matters is whether the head unit has inputs for both devices.
same thing here. you have qt libs and kde libs, which are necessary to
run KDE applications. stop thinking like Windows. qt and gtk are just
libraries, not exclusive entities.

galeon will interact with your gnome environment. netscape's kindof.
well. just not so cool anymore. galeon is a frontend built on top of
mozilla, which is the new netscape engine anyhow.

go for it. it doesn't make too much difference. besides, i can't even
get openoffice to compile, but many have and many love it.

for the most part, yes.

i'm working with a former fbsd network driver guru on it.
