LXDE was based on gtk+2 and needed to be migrated to gtk+3.  The 
developers who considered that and the fact that there would be an 
increase in resource usage for either migration to gtk+3 or qt (they 
chose qt4 rather than qt5 while waiting for qt5.1) and that the qt 
transition was a very mild resource increase.

Elsewhere another developer said that qt coding was much preferred to 
gtk+3 who considered it bloated and buggy.
