In this case perhaps using the good old "dialog" tool might be an 
alternative to writing a complete curses UI?

For KDE there exists a complementary tool "kdialog", perhaps this could
be converted into a Qt-only version - so you could use it in the same
way as the "dialog" tool.  Then only a gtk-based version would be needed
to make everybody happy.  (but I wouldn't be surprised if being told that 
a "gdialog" already exists)
