That is not corrent.  Qt apps integrate very well in Gnome/XFCE/etc.  I 
know because I target Gnome users in my application which I write with 
Qt.  A user is not able to tell that the application is actually 
Qt-based rather than Gtk-based; it looks and behaves exactly as any 
other Gnome/Gtk app.

The other way around (Gtk apps on KDE) is not working very well.  This 
results in the non-optimal (from KDE's perspective) situation that users 
are actually better off running Gnome or XFCE instead of KDE because 
both Gtk as well as Qt apps integrate well there, and not well the other 
way around.
