qbanking is the only backend - period. The g2-backend is gone (because GnuCash 
didn't use it anyway and the developers of the application it was written for 
seem to have lost interest), and the KDE backend is no longer used either 
(KDE apps use the more generic QT-frontent).

That code uses the FOX Toolkit as GUI. You can safely ignore this frontend, I 
started developing it within AqBanking but continued working on it inside my 
latest project. So sooner or later this code will also disappear from the 
AqBanking package.

As someone else already wrote: The QT frontend is only needed for the online 
banking setup wizard (and the matching debugger) when working with GnuCash, 
so once online banking works for you you no longer need it (well, at least as 
long as the online banking settings do not require changes).
