What does it provide?  Is it basically a graphics toolkit?  From the 
name, I had imagined it something to do with HandyDandles.  Is it 
duplicating some UI objects already present in the GUI?  Does it use the 
same QApplication as the GUI?  Being somewhat unfamiliar with the 
innards of the toolkits, I'm just trying to imagine how all the Qt 
pieces will work together.
