One significant advantage to GTK though is that it is GPL and available
on multiple platforms for no cost (except for transmission and media
etc). 

QT/Trolltech are a bit of an anomaly on the Windows platform. QT for
windows is not a free product. To develop QT apps on windows platforms
requires you dishing out a good chuck of change. Although I own QT for
Windows, I think this one thing is worth noting to anyone doing cross
platform development with it.

Probably one reason why cross platform developers looking for least
costly solutions don't always tend to jump on the QT bandwagon if they
plan to target windows. Whereas GTK doesn't suffer this problem.
