GTK+ doesn't work well at all on Mac, so if "cross-platform" includes
Macs, it's not a contender.

To quote the gtk-osx.sourceforge.net page:

   Developers considering GTK+ as a cross-platform environment for new
   work are advised to evaluate other toolkits carefully before
   committing to GTK if they consider OSX an important market.
