It may be rock solid on Linux but I have my doubts... Mee too. I think that Gtk+/GNOME is just not as stable or reliable as Qt/KDE. And it has been so ever since GNOME 0.x. I tried evolution (when it hat more functionality then KMail) and went back to KMail because evolution was unstable. I tried nautilus (also when it hat more functionality then Konqueror) and went back to Konqueror also because nautilus was unstable. I tried pan (again when it hat more functionality then KNode) and went back to KNode again because because pan was unstable. Nowadays it is all water under the bridge - The KDE programs overtook the GNOME applications long ago in terms of functionality (partly because GNOME applications have been slimmed down). I only try to compile Gtk+ because of the GPS (GNAT Programming Studio). If I wanted to create a GUI application I would use QtAda or AWS.
