Boa Constructor is (...going to become...) a gui designer for wxPython,
which IS a full-featured and source-compatible GUI toolkit between Linux
and Windows.  If you want a gui-designer for either Tk or Qt, I think you
have to choose a commercial solution -- which may be a plus or a minus
for you, of course, depending on your situation.
