Yep, but linking QT statically would make the binary probably too big to
fit nicely in the N770 flash... It's doable anyway for the ones who
really want it (not me ;-)

Well there is more than just advanced widgets in GTK+ which is not
available in all lighter toolkits (full i18n, anti-aliased fonts, glib,
rich theming etc.)

Agreed, let's keep the discussion technical and be open to all opinions!
