I'm considering the pros and cons of this, but I am with Felix in the belief that a simple, Schemish basic GUI layer design is desirable. It shouldn't require Qt or Gtk, which are both on the heavy end of GUI toolkits. Instead it should provide a layer that works on top of whatever GUI tools are available, with a minimum of back-end glue code.
If it's really going to be *that* simple, I don't see why we're discussing Qt or Gtk or WxWidgets as "backends." Just write straight to native OS window systems, the lowest system level. Basically, a "from scratch" project.
Well at least I've accomplished one thing. I've touched off a GUI storm. Cheers, Brandon Van Every
