How is Qt 4.1 lightweight? I needed it a while ago for some project and I 
couldn't even compile it without freeing up huge amounts of diskspace 
(needed over 1GB). After installation:

$ du -sh /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.1.1/ 
460M    /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.1.1

or:

$ du -sh /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.1.1/lib
216M    /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.1.1/lib

Am I missing something about Qt 4.1 being lightweight? (serious question)

And I don't like capital letters in directory- and filenames ;-)

As for Piotr going for GTK+-2.0, I can understand i18n and utf-8 support is 
vital and GTK is pretty portable. And he's even making the effort to make 
it compile with v1.2, which is nice IMHO. Look, for example, at dillo how 
small and fast a GTK 1.2 application can be (sadly they are moving to C++ 
now).
