Hi Matthias/all:

I cannot speak for the OO guys though I know a lot of them.
SO was cross-platform (using its own toolkit) well before there 
was GTK on Win32...Remember also that there was a fair bit of 
non-open stuff in SO that had to come out in the process of 
morphing it into OO. I think priorities, for awhile yet, are
likely to be on improving things that are obviously deficient 
rather than things that are arguably just "unsociable."

That said, I agree that OO on GTK+ is appealing.

(personal opinion only, etc.  re-lurking now. :-)

Best regards,

-Bill
