hem... still... Qt is only KDE, right?

No. Qt is mostly used by KDE programs, but just because you use Qt, doesn't infer you must use KDE.

You could write a program for either Qt or GTK that does not rely on Gnome or KDE, it just doesn't happen as much with KDE.

you need JDE installed on machines to which programs done with this are deployed?

Which is what I said:

No. GTk is LGPL, Qt has a numerous licenses: for open source, you can have the GPL or Trolltech's own QPL, or if you don't want to give out your source code, you can pay for a commercial license (which is then used to fund development of Qt)

Thanks for sorting that out for me, like I said I knew somebody would

. I also didn't know that you could build a QT app for GNOME, I guess because I've never really seen one (although I'm sure they exist).

I'm still real new to the whole programming thing and haven't researched it as fully as I should have (obviously

) before offering my opinions on the subject.

However, I still recommend Anjuta as a C/C++ IDE for GTK apps.

Later,

No, just the java runtime enviroment (aka: JRE or java virtual machine) which is included by default on all (or almost all) OS.
By the way Gambas is not a propietary language BUT uses Qt as it's GUI (that's the only problem if you want to sell your software made in Gambas using a GUI because of Qt's license, check: http://www.binara.com/gambas-wiki/bi...rietary_softwa).
