It seems to me that supporting MacOS is the big problem for cross-platform GUIs. There are several different systems such as Qt that aim for portability across Windows and Unix, but add in the MacOS and the options really decrease. How good is wxWindows support for MacOS? Or will MacOS X fix the problem? I know MacOS X uses a BSD-based underlying kernel, but don't know if it will support X Windows out of the box. If people can only use MacOS-specific GUI APIs, then software such as Tk would still need to be ported specially to MacOS X. --amk
