There's no clear winner.

On Windows wx runs fast, looks good and is stable enough to use in 
production. On X11 wx is dog slow, looks good only if you use GTK-based 
environment (GNOME, XFCE) and crashes randomly on my machine. Oh, and is 
LGPL (basically), that's good for those scared by GPL.

On Windows Qt runs reasonably, looks reasonably and is rock solid. On 
X11 Qt is lightning fast, looks good only if you have installed part of 
KDE and is rock solid. You can buy commercial licenses for both Qt and 
PyQt or go free with GPL version. Until Qt4 come later this year, you 
must use commercial version.

I prefer Qt, but now in my case it's a matter of personal taste.
