I'm afraid so.

If you dig around, you'll find that the "Qt Free Edition" is a linux
distribution.

I just took a quick look at it, and it does look reasonable for light-weight
tasks, though with a heavy Motif-flavor and of course lacking a lot of what
wxWindows has: a source-independent dialog format, common dialogs, a Mac
version, etc.

Not really.  Tcl/Tk and Java aren't means for creating GUIs for standard
C/C++ programs.  There are several commercial toolkits, but Qt and wxWindows
are the only full-fledged free ones, and Qt isn't free for Win32.  That
leaves wxWindows.
