What you read is not really accurate.

Don't mix up Gambas control names with QT widget names. There are not 
necessarily related.

If Trolltech makes a QT widget obsolete, that means there is (or will be) 
another widget with a different name that has the same (often more) 
functionality than the old one.

You won't see the switch in the Gambas component. The Gambas control will keep 
their names. They will use internally the new widget, but you won't see the 
difference (except that it could get more functionnality).

In other words, you have in Gambas two controls, GridView and TableView that 
use the same QT widget, QTable. If QTable is replaced by something other in 
QT 4, you (normally) won't see the difference in your Gambas program.
