[postgis-users] GTK/Gnome GIS Client

[Paul Ramsey]

FYI, uDig (udig.refractions.net) uses the GTK+ widget set under Linux  
(or, rather SWT does, which uDig uses).  If GTK is a big deal :)  I  
think writing one GIS per widget set is a little wasteful and think  
the Eclipse RCP approach is a nice compromise.  qgis compiles  
everywhere now too.  Why the gtk/gnome hangup?
