wxWidgets is cross-platform with native widgets on each platform. gtk is 
cross-platform but always looks like GTK (non-native in most cases). I 
don't like the non-native feel of GTK applications like Ethereal on 
Windows. What's wrong with wxWidgets?

I might have chosen QT if it had (at the time) been fully open source for 
all platforms (as it is now) when I started writing Boxi in 2006. Now I'm 
afraid it's a bit late to change, and I don't (yet) see a good reason to 
throw away all the work I've done on Boxi and start again.

Cheers, Chris.
