It doesn't actually make anybody's life easier because the different frontends do actually have subtly different dialogs and messages. If you want to support only Qt, then do so. I'm firmly of the opinion that we should ditch XForms and force the Gtk frontend to be "self sufficient". If it survives, great, but let's not invest too much of our own time on it.
