I have not still suggestions to Qt (I tried the Arch Linux recipe for 
building and it fails and I'm not a developer) but I think  like has 
being discussed on this list that using a toolkit like the ones you 
mention could help a lot spreading TeXmacs and making more user 
friendly. Now that you're talking about alternative toolkits I would 
like to mention Xul Runner. I have being using Firefox, Thunderbird and 
Songbird and all of them work pretty well on Windows and Linux and the 
interface is a XML document (I remember Joris talking about something 
similar once, saying that interface in TeXmacs could be a TeXmacs 
document). Just an idea.

Cheers,
