Two ways you can think about it - as a student or as a
opensource activist. I think you are a student.
My personal advice is to get your basics right with Motif.
Motif is free for Linux at www.motifzone.net . The Motif
runtime exists on all other Unices like Solaris and HPUX.
IMHO, there are too many bells and whistles attached to
Gnome - such as CORBA. You can learn all about that later.
The Qt interface uses the "slots and signals" thingie.
The "signals" does not mean what you think it does.
Motif is classic. It even has an Ora book. And the
experience will help even when you get to Gnome - later.
Of course, Gnome is the standard. Sun and HP are committed
to it. But like I said, learn your basics on Motif.
Mandatory Disclaimer: I am a Red Hat employee. The default
desktop of Red Hat Linux is Gnome. I still use Motif ;-)
