glib is desktop neutral, QT is not.

glib is used by GNOME, just like libxml, or like DBUS in the near
future, it's a help library that does not depend on any desktop feature.

QT is a key library for KDE desktop. If you move QObject out of QT,
perhaps you could compare GObject with QObject, but QT is glib + gtk, we
had that problem in the past with GNOME, but we fixed it moving the
Object library out of GTK to Glib.

Of course it could be trivial, but Why should I install QT to use it?

As I said, you can propose any library with QObject but I don't think it
could be used on GNOME, XFCe or any other desktop that already have the
QT big dependency. GObject does not have that problem.
