Windows only ! Why ? Because :
What I want is a GUI especial made to satisfy IDE requirements. 
thread-safe, multi screen support - tabbed mdi and docking. (fast, and a 
freaking cool Look and Feel) This is (at least for me) a huge project, 
means, making it platform independent by a single human beeing is 
impossible.
Happy new year and thanks for the fish, er...  link :)
