No.

Unlike in windows, GTK and QT can co-habitate on the same machine regardless 
of version. Things will not be 100% backwards compatable, it is up the the 
app devs to migrate to the new toolkit. Until then, you still need to the 
toolkit to run the applications.

As such, the package system will take care of replacing any piece of software 
with a newer version and any new dependacies.
