I visited Inprise last week. I am in an obscure country named Belgium, located in the heart of Europe.

They talked about gtk and qt and how they work and which one we (the lazarus project) were using. Also, they spoke about hiring someone that knew something about the widget set (either gtk, qt, or whatever) depending on which they chose. It was quite fun chatting with them (I don't remember the other gentlemen's name). I spoke with Michael via EMAIL and the other guy called me.

You plan to work for them maybe :-) ?

They were familiar with the Lazarus project, along with the Medigio project (whatever it was called).

I told them that died a long time ago.

They plan on doing something very similiar to what we are doing. It seems like they have the same ideas and hopes that we have about the Linux environment and what it could become.

True, but I find this contrasts with their plans to work with corel. (but that is my highly personal opinion, based just on what I see on the net)

But your information is partially correct. They plan indeed to use GTK or Qt for the VCL. (Which one wasn't sure when I spoke to them) If they use GTK they could use our headers, so I was told :-)

AFAIK they are in contact with the Qt team; because it seems that if they want Qt then Qt would need to include RTTI in their objects. (or something of the sort, I don't exactly remember)
