In a nutshell yes; I would venture a guess the GTK apps will work mostly fine in Harmattan -- but it could be delayed since GTK/Hildon will be managed by the community meaning they might be behind the getting the support out (since Nokia plays things somewhat close to their vest before release). Just like right now QT is a bit behind the curve in some areas. However, QT has Nokia totally fully behind it for both now (as owners of the QT tech) and because of the new compatibility with their Mid-High end Symbian OS. They are betting the farm on QT, and I think it will pay off for them.
