I don't want to get into a widget war either ;) I am sort of on the 
fence as to weather I would want to take on a Qt port of ddd. And I 
think I would need to be a part of a collaborative effort in such an 
endeavor due to time constraints. The only GUI development I am really 
comfortable with is Qt, But I suppose there is always the option of 
learning a new widget set... we'll see ;) It is great that the gtkmm 
port is already underway!!!
