you could summon a Gnome or KDE panel only if those libraries were available
on the given system so you may have trouble making something open
everywhere unless you make your own X component for it or find one to

Not quite what I was hoping
You could use 'configure' to determine what is available and then
offer the appropriate options. As a long time Unix user, the standard
experience I would expect from an application is to be offered a
default choice and then given the opportunity to enter the full path
to an alternate choice.
