QtDesktop
We could base on the kickstart file and the applications choice from former QtDesktop approach of a possible LiveCD.

Partitioning
QtParted- retired, dead upstream (as of 2015-06-10)
- not feature complete currently
- inactive since 2012
- try the fork QParted (notice the one missing character in different naming)
Is a partition editor really a basic part of a graphical desktop environment? Besides the need to work with partitions during the installation, it is actually not needed. I would discourage everybody to change partitions while the system is running, and this wouldn't work anyway on all partitions. The better way is to boot a live medium. Then it doesn't matter whether a Qt or GTK or whatever based partition editor is used.
Web Browser (oh well!)
- 0. Falkon (new name of former Qupzilla project)
- 1. Qupzilla 2 (with QtWebEngine)
--
- 2. Dillo - but it's based on FLTK what we want?
- 3. Konqueror - conflicts with PCManFM-Qt as the (default) file manager, see below [1]
- 4. Firefox - too much overload propably…
- 5. Arora (Google) - dead upstream
- 5a. Rekonq - maintainer of Arora suggests as a comparable replacement.
