A year back when trying to find out if I should choose QT or wxWindows, I noticed very poor reliablity with QT, I did experience several cores just by compiling the samples that came with QT on all *nix plateforms. (Solaris,HP-UX,IRIX,DUX) I remember my Solaris box often cored after playing with QT widgets... However, QT was _rock_solid_ on Linux, and windows.
wxWindows is far more a complete set GUI and more including I/O, networking, ODBC (database)! The nices part about wxWindows is the native look, of other *nix apps, on the unix world, which come with Motif R1.2 or better, using the Motif build of wxWindows gives a nice native look, and smaller executables! By linking with already found Motif libraries DSOs! I recalled some sample QT examples were like several megabytes! On non-x86 *nix boxes.
For someone that has been working with wxWindows, and tried QT, by far, I think wxWindows wins hands down. I don't know why it isn't as "famous" as QT.
