I *strongly* :-) suggest everybody interested to have a look at the
Qt toolkit at http://www.troll.no

Very, very good. Free, GNU copyleft, source code, documentation and
tutorial in html, written in C++ (we _all_ do love C++, don't we ? ;-).

Compiles directly out of the box for FreeBSD, Linux and many
other Unices.  There's also a NT version (not free), so it can be
interesting also to do GUI cross-platform development.

Cheers
Marco
