far from true. That would be enough to make the GUI work in a Qt host.
But the problems of making it work in a GTK host, or vice versa,
making a plugin using ui:QtUI work in a Qt host, would remain.

torben, dave and i had some detailed discussions on IRC recently about
some new ideas on how to make this work, but i don't think its easy
and its not likely to appear any time soon.

nothing like the plethora of choices implied by open source
development to royally screw up basic things.
