Given the OP's question (identical look and feel across platforms a very |
| 11 |
high priority) he should really check out Java and Swing: |

gtk+ might mean trouble, IIRC different gtk+ versions didn't use to live |
| 26 |
so nicely on a Windows box. GIMP and some other program required |
| 27 |
different versions of gtk+ on Windows when I last tried -- and the |
| 28 |
Highlander paid a visit: "there can be only one ..." (Maybe they've |
| 29 |
fixed that? Or was it about Windows not being too tolerant about |
| 30 |
different versions of libraries?) |

... but anyway I'm mostly classificable as a server-side java dude, and |
| 33 |
don't know the more obscure choices with GUIs that well. So, my opinions |
| 34 |
are worth their weight in uranium (hazardous material, need proper |
| 35 |
handling, not suitable for most uses, keep away from the reach of |
| 36 |
children ;) ). |
