There has been lots of speculation on what Ximian has been doing with Open Office in prepartion for the GNOME 2 based version of Ximian Desktop. Well Michael Meeks made the slides from his presentation at the Open Office conference in Germany available, which details some of the changes done by Ximian.
You find the slides here.

Bzzzzzz....they are using the GPL EXACTLY as Stallman intended. Furthermore, you seem to forget that it's their code. They are free to license it in as many ways as they see fit. This is in no way a GPL issue. It is, plain and simply, a TrollTech issue. If you have a grip about what they are doing, take it to them but don't blame it on the GPL, Stallman, or any other licensing issue.

As for your questions about wrapping other platform toolkits, you need to stop looking at QT and head over to wxWindows.
