You are correct, Qt hildonizes stuff transparently, by default you don't have to change your code. Qt, with it's Mac/Win/X11 multiplatform heritage has quite a history of customizing dialogs and inputs depending on platform to make the application look and feel more native. As for GTK, no idea why didn't they did not do the same but I'm no GTK wizard so I'll let someone with more GTK experience speak up and present the gory details
