Really Alexandre, who cares what toolkit an app uses? If we do, we repeat the mistakes done in Java with Swing. That killed Java on the desktop, because it exposed an implementation detail. People care about apps integrating in their current setting, they don't give a rat's ass in which language, toolkit, IDE, etc. the app was written. Take Audacity for example, it's written on top of wxWindows, do you think anyone would care if wxWindows would use Wine to render instead of GTK? (Assuming the rendering matches the current theme, like BlueCurve)?
Well I see absolutely no point to the whole exercise, but I'm clearly not going to convince you. Feel free to try to persuade the Unix world to insert a bloated Win32 layer under all their toolkits; I don't think you will get very far with that idea...
