I don't know about KDE/Qt, of which I by the way don't like KDE, but Kile is great. I'am using tkbibtex at the moment, which depends on tk/tcl. You can find it at http://www.cat.csiro.au/cmst/staff/pic/tkbibtex.html
it's just one file which you place at something like /usr/local/bin do a chmod +x and you can use it, it's fast (which can't be said of KDE), and it's likely to have installed tk/tcl allready for something else. Another tip: I use texdoctk to browse tex documentation.
