I'm afraid I gave up expecting Chromium to be an example of good engineering when I first heard they'd built the UI in win32 widgets.
And now I think I'm right in saying they use GTK for their X11 interface. For a C++ application that inherits Qt design methodology.

What are you talking about? chromium and chrome use Skia[1] not gtk or win32.
Please don't spread nonsense if you are misinformed.

While Google uses Skia as their backend for WebKit, and presumably for parts of the UI, parts like the menus, settings dialogs and so on do use GTK+.

And using GTK was one of the smarter moves on Google's part with the Linux port.
