It wasn't that bad, right. It'd lack some proper True Type fonts
support, which wouldn't be that much of a pain to add, as well as mouse
support and support for our new input system. While it would maybe
fullfill the in-game GUI demands(provided it is completed), it wouldn't
be enough for tools. On the other hand, maybe we could use other GUIs
for tools. Like SDL embedded in GTK, since Kai is already using GTK for
the dialog editor, but that means having everything in a single window.

Mmmm. When I think about it, the old GUI wasn't *that* bad, and extremly
well integrated into our framework. Joel, what do you think about it?
Improving the old GUI with what it lacks, and keeping it? Others? How
does that sound? After all, we don't need user-moveable Windows, title
bars and such for the game!

Alex.
