I'm developing an application now and hadn't considered using different
UI toolkits on Windows and Linux targets. It increases development
time, but I suppose targetting windows with GWindows and Linux with
GtkAda (or something else?) is a good idea.

One of the reasons for this application was because people disliked the
GIMP interface on Windows (I was going to mod Gtk+ to be better behaved
on Windows). There are other reasons so it's not the only one, but it
certainly topped the list of reasons people chose not to use GIMP on
Windows - an other was because it crashed too much.

What do you mean by a muffineer or grater in UI terms?

Interesting. Has anyone used this in practise?
