<p>Most of my desktop development on Linux has just been with pyGTK, but I can't tell you how useful that is on Windows. </p>
<p>I just thought I'd make a quick mention of Qt 4 as a possible alternative. It runs very well on all platforms, though I don't know if it translates to native controls. Lots of developers rave about it. Might be worth a look.</p>
<p>That's my 2 cents, I'll let you get back to the complicated stuff :)</p>
