Which GUI toolkit will have better support in SliTaz, Gtk or Qt?

Hi

I would like to know which of the two toolkits will have a better support in SliTaz, whether Gtk or Qt. Of course, in theory both could be maintained, but when the human resources are scarce (like in the case of the SliTaz community), usually what happens is that only one of two alternatives is actively maintained. So, is there a policy or plan about which of the two GUI toolkits will be maintained more actively in SliTaz?

I did find them both mentioned on the website, but only Gtk has its own page (http://www.slitaz.org/doc/scratchbook/gtk-libs.html).

Should I assume from this that, in the long term, Gtk will be the favorite in SliTaz?

Thank you

Baka

P.S. Of course, I am only talking about the toolkits as devel tools. I don't care at all about Gnome or KDE...

Actually, because of applications like VLC that need QT and the SliTaz QT flavor, we have somewhat of a balance between GTK and QT toolkits. You could use either, but I have noticed that we lack the Python QT package. However, it's just a matter of adding it for now.
