There are other cross platform C++ toolkits, see for example Fox Toolkit
(www.fox-toolkit.org) and Borland CLX.

For an IDE like Borland's c++builder, give VDKBuilder a try,
http://vdkbuilder.sourceforge.net/ . It uses yet another binding of
gtk+ to C++, the VDK toolkit, that is similar to Borland CLX (ie, it
supports assignable properties through a complex template system).

Borland Kylix uses wine only for the builder, the CLX toolkit is
built on top of Qt.
