Hi!

> There are actually three active versions of searchmonkey:-

>  2) kSearchmonkey is for KDE (Qt) - this is still at version 2.0.0
>  3) jSearchmonkey is a cross-platform JAVA app that is at version 3.2

There are plenty of Java or GTK ports in the tree, so, yes, that
can be done. Please do not underestimate the work required to
generate a GTK+ or Java port, if there is none already, it will be
a bit of work.
