Ah, that's different. That'd actually require

What's the problem, licensing, integration or thread-safety (I know QT isn't thread safe)
Well all those *could* be problems, but the real problem is that the Windows widget toolkit and GTK/Qt are too different, you can't map between them.
The only problem I can see would be drawing the widgets, I haven't looked deeply enough into QT or GTK to know if it's more on the 'impossible' side of difficult or not.
Wrapping the event loop and passing events should be relatively easy.
I may have a look at that too, it would be useful
if
QT/GTK could use some of the existing Windows accessibility software.
No, that's not what I meant. Implementing OLE accessibility would mean that Win32 apps on Wine appear to in native tools like at-poke. It wouldn't mean you could use win32 accessibility software to access native apps.
That doesn't sound too hard, I don't know how well defined Gnome and QT's accessibility interfaces are but I think QT's coming along quite well it would be nice is everything got Dbused though.
