Looks like the way to go: It's apparently a re-do of the traditional Tk 
widgets, with a framework to implement custom styles, which may or may 
not be implemented using "native" GUI widgets. Unfortunately, while 
there seems to exist a Qt style (TileQt), I can't get that one to 
compile for some obscure reason.

Well, I'm trying for qtcl now.
