Yes, exactly that.
I had hoped the logic of the way no gambas gtk packages install if you do
not have gtk would be true if there was also no qt, it would just not
install either toolkit.
I had not realized gambas3 was a meta for everything.
I was compiling from source but that again installs everything.
I guess installing the individual packages would be the best way.
