Just to clarify: QGIS core library depends on QtGui (since that module
contains all the stuff like QPainter, QImage etc.) but it is designed
that it can run without a running X server.

Composition manager can be implemented in QGIS gui library and could
use QGraphicsView facilities. We can do it by drawing each layer to
another graphics view item (instead of drawing them all to one item).
