A quick correction here.  The DotGNU project definately has a clear
"real commitment to"/"clear road-a-head for"/"direction in" supporting
the GUI side of things.  Our focus in this area is on the DotGNU
Portable.NET System.Windows.Forms (WinForms) implementation.

I'm in contact with an industry sponsor who is going to fund the
necessary development work for allowing them to run their GUI stuff on
DotGNU.

(I do think that having Qt / KDE bindings from C# is very important too
for strategic reasons.  Hence, even though we don't currently have the
manpower to work on this, I want to strongly encourage all efforts in
this direction, be it by helping marcusU on Qt# or by independant
efforts.)

Greetings, Norbert.
