When you say "WS" what specifically do you mean? I've run the Qt IDE and 
programs compiled for Qt on Raspbian on occasion, and apart from the 
usual problems of element spacing being slightly adrift etc. have had no 
significant issues that wouldn't be expected on a PC... noting obviously 
the current problems that somebody has with VNC, which I don't think is 
really a Raspbian issue.

Something like two or maybe three years ago I tried to graft KDE onto 
Raspbian and it wasn't entirely successful, but there were other factors 
involved (e.g. a 4K screen which was pushing the graphics capability at 
the time). Most of the time we run a hybrid of the Raspbian kernel and 
Debian apps etc., to a variety of 1080p and 4K screens.
