Agreed, there are at least 7 cross-platform toolkits you could use to your advantage.

The UI would be dog slow under GTK and ugly under Motif, but it would still work.

Not only is that patently false, its pure FUD. The "slowness" is due to incorrectly writing your application, not the toolkit itself. There are plenty of VERY snappy gtk+ applications running under Win32 and other environments, without any "dog slow" behavior as you claim.
gtk+ isn't slow, and there's no reason to use Motif unless you really want to (and again, it too isn't "dog slow").
Only a bad architect blames his hammer.

I might expand support to other platforms after the 1.0 release of my own product. (Most likely that would be Mac OS X.)

Consider using a POSIX compliant, cross-platform set of tools and toolkit, and you'll gain 3 platforms at once: OSX, Unix, and Linux.
This is what MarkSpace, SyncBuddy, and many other commercial companies do.
