Ars Technica has an article about recent proposals to evolve the GTK+ toolkit: "The developers of GTK are preparing for a major overhaul that aims to resolve many of the framework's most significant deficiencies and add next-generation features that will increase flexibility and simplify development. This effort is still in the earliest planning stage, but several intriguing proposals provide valuable insight into some of the changes envisioned by prominent developers."

LOL, well, I didn't want to convince you, but it seemed the info you and I had wasn't congruent so I tried to rectify that. It could just as easily have been me who has learned something...
Anyway, I would like to ask you something. I'm often a speaker at conferences, but I'm no developer. So when people ask me about the relative merits of Qt and GTK, I can only tell them what I've heard from others. And as I'm mostly around KDE hackers, that information is biased. It seems you are rather openminded and unbiased, and you'll soon have experience with both GTK and Qt, and writing a rather complex application. Would you be willing to give me your opinion on the two toolkits? You can contact me at jospoortvliet on the lovely gmail DOTcom servers ;-)
I would really appreciate it, but of course feel free to ignore my request ;-)

You have convinced me. QT4 seems to be the answer to my problems. I will most probably move my project to QT4. It looks like it has everything I need.
