i used wx and the thing i liked was its ease of use.
never tried py-gtk or gnome-java though.

But TO HELL with gtk. QT pwns 'em all

wxwidgets and gtk are two seperate ui toolkits.

wx is BASED on gtk.
and you can use wx to make native looking apps for gnome and xfce.
vlc is an example.

How about Anjuta IDE to start with(It comes bundled with OpenSuse11),i saw using that we can Develop KDE/GNOME application?
Have anyone tried?

How abt you backup your extraordinary claims for once?
wxwidgets are NOT based on GTK+.

wxwidgets , like SWT , provide a layer to use the native widgets of the platform.

Yes, you can start but you will have to learn one of the GUI toolkits to get any further.

maybe my basic concepts are wrong, but...
till today I thought libwx was an extention to libgtk

Cool. Glade can be programmed with in C++, C and Java too. Choose one and start designing.

QT4 is used MAINLY with C++, then with Java (qt4-jambi) and then with Python (PyQt).

I tried glade once, and i was disappointed
in my view its still not upto the mark, though it does work pretty well

ya,GLade IDE is diificult to follow!!,and It's very tedious to see documentation and start programming!!
