Just to add to what Ben said earlier in the thread, the Cocoa front-end is progressing quite well even though the Win UI is very different from Cocoa in terms of the interaction models and how the toolkits are designed (C++ vs Objective-C). The Model-View-Controller design of the shared code is

That isn't really the situation forQtthough.  Arora is a good example of howQtcan intigrate very well in Gnome.  Using the gtkstyle themeqtuses the native GTK theme to render widgets, detecting Gnome it will automatically select that theme, use Gnome shortcuts, and Gnome styled icons. just

That's the situation between GTK and Qt these days. The OS underneath is the same, but running apps targeting one in an environment targeting the other in terms of user experience feels much like GTK apps feel on Windows. It doesn't have to any more. Qt 4.5 can use the current Gtk theme and
