No.  kdelibs for instance is LGPL or even less restrictive.

In this situation the Qt license is probably more restrictive, but if code was 
borrowed or linked against from an application that uses the GPL then yes, 
the GPL restrictions apply.

BTW the best way to find out if there's a license issue is to refer to the 
license for the library being used, or check the license of any source code 
being used.  It would be helpful if we knew what exactly you were linking 
against, for example.
