GTK+ is primarily used by Gnome.  Qt is technically independent (Qt  
also works on Windows) but is the foundation from which KDE's SDK is  
built.  wxWidgets is a dedicated 100% cross-platform toolkit, so it  
works on Windows and Linux.

There are tools which automatically allow you to use any toolkit in  
any Windowing environment (so I could use GTK+ stuff in KDE) so really  
just pick one, you can't go wrong - except with GTK+ which you could  
go very wrong with, but I might just be a little opinionated there ;-)
