You could try pygtk (www.pygtk.org) if performance or memory usage
is not an issue for you.

The Gtk idiom is:
GtkWidget *window;
...
window = hildon_window_new();
hildon_program_add_window(HILDON_PROGRAM(program),
HILDON_WINDOW(window));
g_signal_connect(G_OBJECT(window), "delete_event",
G_CALLBACK(delete_event_cb), NULL);
I.e. you do the casts when using the object, not when creating it.
And you don't use C casts but appropriate Gtk (or in above Hildon and
Glib) casts which also assert that the casted object is of suitable
type for that cast.

There's a garage project for Qt:
http://qt4.garage.maemo.org/
Just click the "Click to install!" button.
There's now supposed to be (somewhere) Qt support for the N8x0
device input method too which was a problem earlier.
- Eero
PS. I don't see much difference between how Gtk and Qt work.
The difference between C and C++ is IMHO much larger. :-)
