Trolls (the Trolltech ones) are blogging about a technology preview of the UI designer for QML, integrated to Qt Creator. A youtube video is provided. QML, accompanied by an UI designer, provides an open alternative for piecing together flash-like high-FPS programs with heavily customized and animated user interfaces, built on QGraphicsView framework. While QML allows authoring the whole program in QML markup and Javascript, QML can be incorporated to Qt C++ programs with relative ease.

Is anyone using SVG for anything apart from static scalable images?
For desktop applications, you don't really care about "standards", you care about the fact that you can deliver your program for the platforms you are interested in, and that the program won't suck horribly (which is what I'd expect an svg application to do).
Web based applications are fine for simple applications, and happen to be trivially portable, but web technologies don't really make glitzy applications easy to build - or, if they do, they are everything but open or standardized (flash, silverlight).
If you are using Linux, you'll have this "monstrosity" out of the box. Likewise if you happen to be using a (future) Nokia phone. Qt runtime is not really that big after all (around 10 megs?).
