It's hard to tell, because some people REALLY do think any software remotely associated with GTK+ is part of GNOME. To these people Firefox, GIMP and OO.org are all GNOME apps.

But OO.org wrote its own widget set from scratch which it uses on all platforms. There is no GTK usage there at all.

What surprises me is why so many people think that there are just two widget sets; Qt and Gtk. And everything not Qt must therefor be Gtk. Which is pretty far from the truth :)

Just add KDE dialogues and Crystal Icons and people feel at home.

But honestly, a wxwidgets backend for QT would improve things dramtically.

wxWidgets allows unrestricted commerical use licenced under the LGPL so a Qt version of wxWidgets is legally impossible.

If you are saying that you can't link GPL software and LGPL software, you are very confused.

Most of kdelibs is LGPL. GPL can be linked to LGPL just fine. Why do you think there are businesses like The Kompany (i.e.- http://www.thekompany.com/home/) that creates semi-closed source software that uses kdelibs?
