Actually, I suspect you *can* have qt and gtk+
coexist with two X connections with little or no problems.
(er untested conjecture sorry)
It's only the fact that gtk+ (and maybe kde) store the
XDisplay as a global that screws up opening per-plugin
connections.
I think this Benno's approach is not right on other grounds --
namely that it skirts the "which gui toolkit" by picking the
*two* most popular. (Begging the question: why two? why
discriminate against wxwindows, lefftif, sdl, libsvga,
libggi, nano-x, etc, etc?)
