GTK is available on windows as well. I have used GIMP on windows and is pretty good.. For Qt, I think it may be worth of trouble if you are developing on windows and some unix simaltaneously.

Certainly it can't be fetchmailconf type stuff for an accounting package, can it? Shridhar P.S. I rewrote this post to cut any anti java stuff..
