As of 8.4 (at least), TK also supports Unicode.  And Qt3 will probably 
become freely available for Win32 once Qt4 is released.  And Gnome/Gtk 
also has GLADE, a Designer-like tool for rapid development of GUIs.  
And don't forget about FOX.  It's moving along at a fast enough clip 
that it's hard to say what it does and doesn't support yet.

Basically, they're all good, so you're just going to have to look at 
the documentation to see which toolkit style your brain can best wrap 
around.
