It seems that people are getting too lazy. For a non trivial
application it is not possible and will be possible to have a write
once, compile everywhere GUI. Of course you can reduce the dependent
plattform code to a small amount of 5-10% but thats all.

The biggest problem is the different event sequences that you get from
the window system. So if you do some non standart tricks thats it. Not
to mention all other nice little things like tray icons etc.
