i am not claiming toolkits are useless, was more adressing statements like
"you really want" (for simple app - not really) and "qt and gtk are best 
choice" (quite bold, almost advertisement-like claim.

either way - one indeed can make it easy
and there is wide choice of 
toolkits, out of which many are even cross-platform :

or one can code directly, when app is simple/disposable enough , and 
adding toolkit would be just a waste of resources
  (i.e. like vncviewer, mplayer, etc.)
