Re: [gtk-list] Re: KDE Gnome Qt gtk--

["Dean Olson" <bluesect visi net>]

I guess I should clarify- I meant to say that it was bazaar down to the
level of its toolkit.  GTK is constantly developing without a commercial
company, but with fast and furious results considering how quickly it is
gaining new features. I fully expect it to provide every UI convenience
known to man within the year. :)

Out of the box QT is not subject to arbitrary alterations by people hacking
on it.  At least, I would assume so because of the fact that it is owned,
not GPL.  More of a rallying cry for the GPL aspect of the toolkit. (You can
tell what religion I believe in :)  )
