Before stripping all the gtk+ libraries take just over two megs, after
stripping they take 570K (and that can be cut down even more if debugging
is turned off from the start, allowing gcc to do space-sensitive
optimizations). 

Before stripping, qt takes 1100K, after stripping it takes 940K.

And the winner is... GTK :-)
