There are a number of educational applications available on the K Desktop Environment. Sugar, having education in mind, would like to use these applications. The only problem is that these applications are written for KDE using the Qt toolkit, while Sugar uses the GTK+ toolkit. Therefore for Sugar to have access to these applications they must be rewritten using the GTK+ toolkit.

Therefore for Sugar to have access to these applications they must be compatible with the GTK+ toolkit.
Trolltech, the developer of the Qt Toolkit, has included QGtkStyle into Qt 4.5. The QGtkStyle class provides a widget style rendered by GTK+ (http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/qgtkstyle.html). QGtkStyle will allow programs written in Qt to integrate better into desktop environments that use GTK+. Using QGtkStyle as an alternative to recoding an entire program from Qt to GTK+ will dramatically speed up the process of bringing KDEEdu applications to Sugar.
