I have some units of GTK 2.x already on my harddrive but my port is _far_ from being finished. If you (or someone else) would like to start porting this Software to GPC, I could contribute.

2. the KDE desktop environment with the Qt toolkit, which is C++ based.

So, in the Gnome versus KDE war, Gnome seems to be the natural choice. Also, you have to pay for Qt, unless you write GPL licensed software.

You'll get into trouble with moc, I think.
