IIRC, the goal of LSB is to specify a kind of standard that a linux 
distribution must meet. I find it hard to imagine that a distribution would 
choose not to integrate KDE because it is not in the LSB. 

Some distribution may choose not to include KDE (one starting with a R comes 
to my mind) but LSB certainly won't change anything to that.

Their issue with C++ was that it does not have a stable ABI.

I find their argument for Qt licensing irrelevant: 
- lot of free software runs with Qt, so not including Qt does harm a linux 
distribution
- they are not the one who should decide if a company wants to use Qt or 
not, their goal is to provide a standard way of providing Qt.

Mmh, I should be writing directly to them.

I find it surprising to see Alan Cox believing that Gtk will take over the 
world, especially the commercial applications world. I wonder if he has 
ever tried Qt.
