On: Maemo 5 and Nokia n900 press release

From the developer's point of view, it's notable that you can now use the Qt framework to program cross-platform apps for Maemo and Symbian phones as well as for Windows, Mac and Linux desktops. And with the support for web technologies in Qt, this means Web developers can create native apps using mostly HTML, CSS, Javascript, SVG etc. http://qt.nokia.com/

(Edit: replying here because of the reply limit: I Right, Qt is supported on Maemo 5, will be default on Maemo 6. II Indeed, and Nokia will support Python for Qt development too.)

FTR, most of Maemo 5 is GTK.

Yes Maemo 5 is mainly gtk based. But nokia announced they will switch to Qt for Maemo Harmattan. It is only logical after they acquired Trolltech in early 2008.
