No, everything's fine.  Components in Gambas fulfill the 
functions of both components and references in VB... a Gambas 
component can have both controls (which would go into the 
toolbox) and normal classes (which don't.)  You can tell the 
difference by looking at the .component files associated with 
each component.... lib.gb.qt.component has "Group=" and 
"Controls=" lines, whereas lib.gb.db.component does not.

You should also have a KDE group in your toolbox though, 
containing the URLLabel, ColorBox and DatePicker controls.

Sure, if you want to write them in C or C++. :)  Native graphical 
components will come eventually.
