hmm... thanks for your comment. GTK has C++ bindings & afaik, it's also
available on a number of platforms..
i've seen GNOME (which sits on top of GTK) already ported to a number of
platforms, i've seen GIMP for windows & pidgin for windows.
i've used GTK myself many years before too.
seems quite popular if u ask me.
so i'm just trying to understand more as i've not had the time luxury to
try out both Qt & Wx too.
