No, I think just using one of the two most popular toolkits (Gtk or

Qt) is enough.  Both of those have Windows bindings and at least Qt

has a native (non-X) Mac binding as well.  And since they receive the

most developer focus of the various toolkits, they set an

appearance/usability standard that other toolkits (like wx, fltk,

motif, tk, etc.) often can't match, even when (like wx) they use Gtk

as a back end on Linux hosts.  I suspect an Audacity built against a

more recent wxWidgets would look nicer, though.
In this case, Lee is really talking about the lack of anti-aliasing on

the fonts, though I could easily imagine other GNOME or KDE users

complaining that these apps that use less common toolkits don't abide

by their choice of desktop theme.
Anyway, at least wx-based apps aren't openly modern-desktop-hostile

like, say, cinelerra or snd.
