Probably the easiest way to implement an R GUI is to do it purely from
within R with the gWidgets package. It supports a number of backends, the
most mature/functional being RGtk2 (which you could also use directly).
There's an R <-> Qt interface in the works, which could eventually be
another backend for gWidgets, so you could switch from GTK+ to Qt without
any major changes to your code.

If you're stuck on Qt though, it would probably currently be easiest to
implement most of the GUI in C++, with a few simple hooks to R. You might
check out the RQt package to see if you can leverage it for things like
signal handling and slot access.
