Okay, not knowing anything about C++ I assumed "toolkit" was akin to "compiler." Does that mean I could take the code for GIMP and run it using the Qt toolkit?
That's not the way it works. Toolkits are collections of routines that do nifty things for you. They're libraries just as e.g. glibc, but often called toolkits as they do more complex stuff. When the GIMP authors wrote GIMP, they decided whether or not to use Qt. I think they went with GTK+ : ldd /usr/bin/gimp libgtk-1.2.so.0 => /opt/gnome/lib/libgtk-1.2.so.0 (0x4002c000) libgdk-1.2.so.0 => /opt/gnome/lib/libgdk-1.2.so.0 (0x4016d000) libgmodule-1.2.so.0 => /opt/gnome/lib/libgmodule-1.2.so.0 (0x401a6000) libglib-1.2.so.0 => /opt/gnome/lib/libglib-1.2.so.0 (0x401a9000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x401cf000) libXi.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXi.so.6 (0x401d2000) libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x401da000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x401e8000) libm.so.6 => /lib/i686/libm.so.6 (0x402e4000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/i686/libpthread.so.0 (0x40307000) libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/libc.so.6 (0x40359000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000) So no, you can't take the GIMPS source code and "run it" with Qt. /Per Jessen, Zürich (-7.07 °C) -- http://www.spamchek.com/ - managed anti-spam and anti-virus solution.
