libqt4-maemo-dev and likewise are all qt4.6

I have this funny feeling that Maemo and Qt have something to do with Nokia... It's just a hunch. But if this turns out to be the case, one would think it would serve Nokia's best interests if there were good documentation available for developing in Qt. In fact, let me be so presumptuous as to suggest that Nokia should actually hire some capable people to write these much needed documents. Yes, for real money!

However, let us be honest here. The situation with documentation is not at all that hopeless. For instance, I'm rather fond of this E-learning thing. It's simple, well presented and, on top of that, there is a really nice and soothing female voice. Of course, one doesn't learn anything useful here, but the voice is nice.

Danke - I didnt realise they were out there already. Might find 10 minutes today to try write a few simple Qt apps and see how they play without being hildonised.

AFAIK

I understand that QT apps will run on your N900 like normal apps. You dont need to do anything specific for maemo.
Except for hildonizing you can refer to some new stuff coming out

You mean something like this: http://doc.trolltech.com/4.6/index.html ? It seems to have examples for the most common uses of each class as well as a fairly comprehensive reference. Downside is that it appears to assume a knowledge of the basics, but it's still pretty useful.

And you can replace 4.6 with 4.5 because if I remember well the QT implementation in maemo is 4.5

Check this post. Yes, I'm using those documents quite frequently. They are the same as the QT Creators help files. I just often find it hard to understand from them how to use those classes I need. But hey, maybe it's just me.

Maemo has both Qt 4.5 and 4.6, and you can use both, even in the same device in parallel

I personally recommend Qt 4.6 if you're starting, since is much more complete in terms of Maemo5 support.

you can have QML as your UI overlay and your backend as C/C++ code (to store / pass data to QML, especially you want to write some 3D games without bending your head on GUI.

currently there is an issue regarding to pixelmap. however, I didn't see other problems.
