Awaiting a war on QT vs GTK vs wxWindows.

We did discuss this one a bit in our last meeting (actually our only 
meeting !). I have gone through wxWindows quite a bit (only 
documentation, not actually tried it out). I believe there are some 
glitches, so if you're squeamish like me, you shd avoid it.

Also, Sandip had mentioned that the issue with qt is the expense (sorry 
if i misquote you). Essentially, if you are writing a closed source 
application, the license can be prohibitive...

Again, i have browsed through the docs of QT and GTK. QT is C++ and 
looks more elegant (my opinion). GTK+ is C, however it looks 
"object-based".
QT was used for KDE and Opera, GTK was used for GNOMe and GIMP. So both 
are very functional and stable.

Finally, i am a java programmer, so do double-check what i say before 
deciding. I forgot to add the line "your mileage may vary" which tech 
reviewers use nowadays. Add it where appropriate :).
