How does GTK's way of creating the GUI (I presume you're not talking
look and feel) differ from Qt's?  From what I can see (having developed
large apps in both GTKmm and Qt (C++), they both function the same.  In
other words you create the widget first, then parent it in a container
and add callbacks. Whereas wxPython's approach is somewhat different. 

It appears that most wxPython apps setup the GUI programmatically,
whereas Most Qt and Gtk apps tend to use XML-based gui-building
factories.  In this latter case, Glade's method is quite different from
Qt's.
