I did wonder whether I could do loading from compiled resources rather
than .ui files on disk, but the uics was working okay (other than the
slightly silly namespaces for a .Net environment) and I'd about worked
out the best way to use the pre-compiled code (which is a bit different
to most UI toolkits I've used).

That was part of the reason I asked here - the various websites are all
quite dormant, but there had been a few commits, so I didn't know what
the status was.

Presumably including something like QyotoDevelop ;) MonoDevelop now
supports Windows, as of v2.2, so even if integration with VS.Net is
difficult (and probably more of a moving target) then developers could
potentially have some tooling for MonoDevelop on Windows at the least.

Distinction between Qt and KDE would be appreciated in Gnome as well as
Windows, though. I don't know if it is just lazy packagers over defining
requirements, but I've hit a couple of installs that pull in lots of
core bits of KDE just to get Qyoto.
