I know that it depends on how systems implement shared libraries.  I'm really 
no whiz on this either.  However, evidence seems to indicate that this is not 
the case on Linux at least.  For instance, on my laptop (which I use at home 
and where I build with debugging disabled) my libs are:

qt-mt   7220k
kdeio   3304k
kdeui   2520k
kdecore 1780k

Total:  14752k

Which most KDE apps link to.  It seems to be possible to create a KDE 
application that uses less than 15 MB RAM.  In fact FlashKard at startup 
currenly shows 11 MB at start up (all of this is of course specific to my 
machine).

I'll do some more research on this once I'm back at work tomorrow with a real 
internet connection.

And again, here I'm going more on convention than on knowledge.  All of the 
KDE GUI classes are in one lib, though you'll most likely not ever use all of 
them.  All of the Qt classes are in one lib, same again.
