Well, probably maybe. Its hard to know what GUI toolkits closed source
software use. And it doesn't matter very much either until there is a
big enough marked for commercial vst plugins on linux, which might never
happen because we have better standards than vst for fitted for linux
audio: The trouble of getting various x toolkits to work with each other
is probably more easely solved by using dssi or just making jack programs
out of the plugins. Besides, ladspa is a much more supported standard than
vst on linux, and for most vst plugins, it probably doesn't require that
much work to make them support ladspa as well as vst.
I think it boils down to vst plugin developers not having much interest
in linux audio. Thats where the work needs to be done I think.
