what exactly is bad about having a variety of toolkits? The only thing
that's annoying is if they interact badly. Lately the KDE and GNOME
people put a lot of effort into improving the interoperability of
their applications. If you are interested you should probably have a
look at http://www.freedesktop.org/. There are a couple of
toolkit-independent proposals and specs there that should definitely
be considered for whatever new application framework you are designing.

I'd say that for security reasons the master application should be as
simple as possible and should thus probably do nothing but being the
master application.
