Qt would be nice, but I see more applications which are based on gtk. I
know there exists a port of gtk1, but newer versions are not available.
John Malmerg and myself both tried independently to get a newer versing
working, but only came to a versions that compiles, but crashes in most
cases at run-time.
A lot of Debugging is needed. But a good version of gtk+ would realy
help to port a lot of nice other tools.
