May be i was one of starters of this thread. I have Never been saying 
that GTK is bad. The
case was just that some applications that may be very good gor 770 are 
made with Qt and
and some users like to use them with 770.

I agree with this and this has nothing to to with that item that some 
other application developers
has chosen Qt and some 770 users may like to use these applications.

At the moment, i am porting two GPS programs for 770, the gpsdrive that 
is GTK one and Cumulus that
is Qt program. I am not only one in the world that thinks that some Qt 
applications are usefull.
I think that Qt is like any other library that can be usefull on 770. It 
is not wasting bandwidh
talking about porting of Qt applications or even Qt itself.

It is wasting of bandwidth to saying QT is bad, porting QT applications 
is bad, It is not
even alloved to say QT ...
