I don't see a problem with ISVs choosing whichever toolkit suits them best. As 
long as they can integrate with the desktop whichever that is, it should be 
fine.

That's why working with specifications and leaving the coding aside makes 
sense.

Distributors that don't ship the essential libraries should be shot anyways 
and deserve to die a horrible death. Both Qt and GTK are standardised in the 
LSB 3.1, 3.2 and will be even more deep in 4.0.
