 Dale> Wow! This is the most circular argument I have heard in a long time ;-)

	Not really. It elides some information. The things that break
 circularity: 
  a) Debian is not majority of Linux installation, so
     conceivablysomething that is not part of Debian may still be on a
     majority of Linux installations, and 
  b) I did not mewntion the reasons that Qt is not a part of Debian --
     in any case, the reason is not because Qt is not a major
     component. 

	In other words, I fail to see, really, how this is a circular
 argument.
