This is an orthogonal issue - it can be solved by using multiple osg windows to
contain whatever GUI solution we go with - canvas, osgWidget or PUI-port.
Or to put it another way - the actual hard part is running the widgets in the
main OpenGL window - which *is* a requirement for full-screen apps and
multi-monitor setups. (Some people have claimed otherwise, but I believe we
need the option of 'in-window' UI for many cases).
So, this is a desirable feature, but doesn't dictate the choice of GUI
technology. And can be done as a separate step from replacing PLIB.
