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?
