From what I've heard, I'd go for Qt+Designer nowadays, as Glade has
suffered some code rot recently due to a lack of attention. KDE 2.1 is
*very* nice nowadays, quite nicely integrated and polished all-round.
GTK+ is of course motoring on at high speed, it's just Glade that's
suffering; Designer's a nicer, and more reliable, UI editor.
