In fact I am using gtk-qt-engine, but I was also using it before I
installed wxGTK and AFAIK it was not responsible for any previous
Emacs crashes I've seen.  (I'm not using the gtk-qt-engine from SUSE,
though, because that has a (longstanding) problem with the window
color of GTK Emacs.  This problem disappeared after building
gtk-qt-engine from CVS sources.)
