The GUI part of all applications that run under QWS must be written in
pure Qt. Unfortunately, I don't know of such an X11 server.
The whole Qt/QWS environment is really targeted for special purpose
systems with strict memory constraints that run dedicated UIs. It is not
designed to be able to interact with other GUI toolkits and
applications.
There is a very old (but still relevant) discussion about this issue:
http://lists.trolltech.com/qt-embedded-interest/2002-10/msg00117.html
The bottom line is that if there is a need for both Qt and general X11
support in a resource-constrained environment, the only feasible way is
to use Qt/X11 over a lightweight X11 server (eg KDrive).
