Actually no. It was a google "summer of code" project. Not a blocker bug that 
had to be fixed

I don't quite see how you reason. There was a qt application (yast2) in gnome. 
People wanted a gtk/gnome version, so someone wrote it and now it gets used. 
Similarly, there was a gtk application in kde (the updater applet). People 
wanted a kde version so someone wrote it and now it gets used. I see 
absolutely no difference at all (except perhaps that yast2/qt was used for 
far longer in gnome before someone bothered writing a gnome/gtk frontend for 
it)
