Do you mean QT (no X server) No, I really meant QT (no GUI). The application in this system was written in Qt, but was not using QtGui, only QtCore, QtNetwork and QtXml. The device in question had no screen. Many people believe Qt is a graphical toolkit. It is not only that. It is a library that covers a lot of features, and being a graphical toolkit is only one aspect of it. Event handling, networking, data structures, XML parsing, etc, etc. See http://elinux.org/images/b/bb/Qt-for-non-graphical-applications.pdf for more details.
