Dear Galina,

You can use the Qt-edition of ROOT
(See:  http://root.bnl.gov  ). 

If you have access to AFS system then you can try it right now as that
Web page describe ( http://root.bnl.gov )
One can add the Qt-layer to any ROOT version. 
(see: http://root.bnl.gov/QtRoot/How2Install4Unix.html )
However for ROOT 3.05.06 and below one had to patch the original ROOT
code.

Since ROOT 3.05.07 no ROOT patch is required.

Please try and let me know.

You may want to try some simple example of the stand-alone Qt-based ROOT
application
http://root.bnl.gov/QtRoot/How2Install4Unix.html#simplest 
also.

I would like to call your attention no QApplication and
QApplication::exec should be called by your code directly. Qt-edition of
ROOT takes care to initialize the Qt system properly for you.

This edition was used to create the STAR ROOT-based "Event Display":

   My best regards, Valeri
