I think you mean Gtk....
That was the predominant GUI library used for Maemo 5.

There was some mob contracted to do a port at the beginning of the year.
But I guess that got pulled by Elop & co, as I haven't heard anything since.
I can't recall if it was a re-adaptation of it all to Qt, or a straight port.

Some users have had a crack at starting a port themselves.
That may be what we have to rely on in-the-end...
