Full ack on the distribution part and yes it is a toolkit. But almost
everyone I did ask about their opinions regarding "ROCK Toolkit" or "ROCK
TK" said that it sounds like it would be an x11 widget set.

Qt, GTK, TCL/TK, ROCK TK, ...

That's why I think a name which doesn't try to explain what the project is
about would be better. It can (but doesn't need to) be a name with an
origin in ROCKs beeing or history. But the name should not try to explain
what ROCK is because that simply can't be done (imo).

I really like this two lines. That's why I've added them to the about

in less than one hour.
