The level of C++ required to do Qt is minimal, really, in fact, if you already 
did GTK+, I'd go almost as far and say it's mostly simple syntax difference 
(with the usual amount of C vs C++ compiler caveats, of course). That's one 
of the reasons I feel C bindings never really took off for Qt. Of course if 
you DO know C++, you'll be able to use Qt more efficiently. Note - I'm saying 
this about using the toolkit from C or C++, there are differences between the 
toolkits themselves, and these are FAR FAR bigger than using them from C or 
C++.
