As far as I know there are currently three: VDK, wxWindows
and V. The last two being cross-platform toolkits. All three
will add an extra layer between your app and the toolkit,
for better or worse. In contrast to GTK--, whish is very
thin language wrapper around the GTK+, these toolkits try
to provide classes for more than just the GUI toolkit - once 
again for better or worse.

wxWindows has 700 Kb of documentation for almost every single
method call. Sadly, we have no tutorial yet.

The two kits have no function call or class name or whatever  
in common.  But surely, I'm missing something here.
