Why do you say that? Do any GUI objects get dumped? That's the only thing I
could think of that would screw up Qt (or any C++ stuff in general). Qt even
has an 'Xt' extension now, where you can mix & match a Qt & an Xt
application.
They have examples for 'mainly xt' and 'mainly qt' flavors of apps.
I think mostly-xt would be the easiest way to get it to work under XEmacs.
The real downside is using C++ :) I used to love that language until I
actually had to use it for our GUI and policy library here at work. I used to
be able to build our entire product (from checking it out of CVS, configuring
it, building, and packaging into tar files) in under 10 minutes on a PPro/200.
Now we have a lot of C++ code, I have a PIII/550, and it takes 90 minutes just
to _build_ the damn thing. GLEEP!
