Now seems a good time to mention some work we've been doing

I commissioned Harri Porten of froglogic.com to build me
perlTk emmulator if you will using the Qt toolkit instead
of Tk.  The project is far enough along that I have a 7300+
Pq (Perl with Qt) project.  The syntax is perlTk but
uses Qt.

Sounds interesting. Qt is another option. My preference for gtk is mainly biased by non-western language support - but I haven't looked at Qt recently.
I have to admit I'm a little biased towards Qt myself. I prefer it's API, and it has decent I18N support. There may be some licensing concerns using it however. It carries a dual license, which allows free use within Open source efforts, but carries another license for commercial efforts. I should point out that I don't personally find this unreasonable - the Trolltech has every right to make money from their product which they support very well, IMO.
I do realize that for some, this could be a problem.
