Technical it will not cause any problems, however some of the old users
might get confused.

I'm not using tomboy and haven't looked at the packaging, but wouldn't
it be possible to introduce a second binary package with the QT flavour?
Maybe also rename tomboy-ng to tomboy-ng-gtk (and have tomboy-ng as a
transistational package), for clarity?


Best regards,
