"As for Qt, it includes GUI development tool known as Qt Designer. In
contrast to Gtk+, Qt has very nice documentation and special tool to
navigate and to do search in it. QGraphicsView framework can be a
significant help to develop some kinds of 2D graphical application, Qt
includes integration with OpenGL also."



Thanks Vadim for the info; I will look at Qt also. I always find a GUI 
builder easier to use to layout components than doing that using just code. 
Much less time, but may be not as flexible, but the time saving is worth it 
for me.
