Seeing as this has come up again, I asked on the #gtk+ channel on irc.gnome.org the other day about why you can't use gtk+ and qt (for example) in the same app, and whether or not it's likely to change. They had this to say: <owen> node: Well, really depends on the other toolkit.... <owen> node: And whether you want to share the Display connection or not. <owen> node: GTK+ is perfectly happy to let another toolkit share its main loop <owen> node: Metacity is an example of how you can leach of GDK's display connection, but sharing a single display is inherently going to be hard Has anybody actually tried to get gtk+ and qt working in the same application?
