At the event loop level, neither GTK nor Qt is a GUI toolkit. That

neither use X11 nor link against any of Qt's GUI code.

The problem I pointed out exists when the
'real' loop (in
the C, C++ sense), in other words the while() thing above,
is completely absorbed into a GUI toolkit.
you can view it that way around if you wish. but i think that its
equally accurate to say that things start with a particular event loop
(in the C, C++ sense) and then the toolkit is built around it.
