An assertion that is undeniably true - but for a whole bunch of programs
living in the unix-world, and especially ones with GUIs of any sort, as
running X under Windows is a royal pain in the neck - but so what? As
qt-software has to be gpl on linux too, its free and so I can't make a buck
out of it - so if I decided to write it anyhow, I'm not concerned about
reaching the windows user-base.
