The big 3 are Qt, GTK+, and Kylix.

Qt and GTK+ are free, both are very nice. Kylix is expensive, comes with 
rafts of features the other two don't have, especially for the enterprise. 
Kylix has 30-day free trial, and a free edition, but only for GPL apps, not 
for commercial.

Qt and GTK+  run on different compilers, they are sophisticated widget sets. 
Kylix is complete environment. Kylix and Qt provide their own API. GTK+ uses 
X as its API.

Qt is C++, GTK C, Kylix Delphi. One very cool feature of Qt is translating 
apps into other languages, it does this better than any of the others.

All three can do cross-platform, the new magic mantra is "single source 
code". Their respective Websites are probably the best sources of 
information. A Google search for product reviews turns up some decent 
articles.
