How about QtD?  That supposedly works with D2.  Haven't had a chance
to confirm it myself, though.

But even if you're using C++ -- now that Qt is LGPL I don't see why
anyone would choose wxWidgets, unless they really have to because of
wx's more liberal licensing.  But LGPL is good enough for most things.
 I would think it should certainly be good enough for an IDE that
itself will be GPL.
