At this time, I don't really know. Basically :

- GTK is widely deployed and easy to install (at least that was true 
with GTK 1.2, that's _less_ true with GTK 2.x), but the GTK guys
constantly break their own API, which makes it very hard for me
to maintain a 1.x AND 2.x compatible program which keeping useable
source code

- Qt is a much nicer toolkit but it requires C++ and is far less
popular than GTK (especially on non-Linux systems which don't expect to
replace Windows on the desktop anytime).

- I don't want the Nessus client to be web based (such solutions already
exist anyway).


So I guess I'll probably stick to GTK, but I hate that. I also hate to
spend too much time on the GUI.

Are you using GTK2 ? GTK2 broke the scroll bars. I don't know how to
restore them.

Press "alt" and click in the middle of the window to move it around.
