If the LSB does define additional libraries, it might be worthwhile to

were defined in the LSB, packages requiring GNOME 2 might depend on
lsb-gnome2. Similarly, KDE 3 might be fulfilled by lsb-kde3 on an
LSB-compliant system.
My concern is that the LSB not get overloaded with superfluous
facilities. So far, it has been a reasonable subset (although the
inclusion of the X libraries in the core standard may be a little on
the way to bloat), but adding every free toolkit out there to it will
lead to massive bloat {Debian's lsb package already pulls in a large
number of packages as it is, without pulling in all of GNOME and KDE
too} unless some sort of modularization is pursued.
As a random note, adding libgnome* and libkde* would be a Bad Idea - I
think only the base toolkits (GTK and Qt) should be considered for the
immediate future at least (1-2 years).

This is right. However, 1-2 years I suppose is a lot of time.
Following Matt considerations ...
-------------
The solution to the C++ problem is for vendors to adopt
soon-to-be-released GCC 3.1 as their system compiler. The LSB will be
adopting "The V3 multi-vendor standard C++ ABI" that GCC 3.1
implements.
-------------------
The discussion to includes Qt will start when GNU GCC 3.1 will be released.
In accord to GNU GCC snapshots ...
ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/snapshots/README
gcc 3.1 will be released in days ... or some week. (Latest snapshot was
yesterday)
Then will be the turn for testing Qt 3.0 (of course).
As I introduce before ... OpenMotif is there and may be tested also when
gcc 3.1 is released
http://www.linuxbase.org/futures/candidates/index.html
About libgnome* ... I don't know.
About GNOME we have about 1,000 applications released with Gtk(1) ...
and some of this are usefull: GIMP
In Madrid, last year I speak call FTX = OpenMotif + Qt + Gtk.
What about?
Thanks,
Giovanni
