I am totally unfamiliar with what the Qt (or equivalent for Gnome) toolkits provide. So, I realize this may be a totally inapplicable suggestion.
But, for certain types of "free GUI'd application" development, or at least prototyping, would using Perl plus Tk be at least somewhat applicable?
I know Perl is available for Win32 platforms (95/98/NT). You can get it from www.activestate.com. You can get Tk for Perl from the same place. You can get books on using Perl and Tk together from www.oreilly.com.
I'm certainly not going to claim this is a complete alternative for Qt, but might it work better (assuming what you want to do should be GUI'd) than ncurses?
