If you use 'gb.gui.qt', it will just try to load the QT component 
specified by the 'GB_GUI' variable if present. Otherwise it will load 
the best Qt component it thinks.

But as 'GB_GUI' is set to 'gb.gtk3' because you ran that version of the 
IDE, you get this error.

Maybe 'gb.gui.qt' should load the best QT component it thinks in that 
case instead of raising an error?
