AXIS, TOUCHY and The future Gscreen all understand POST_GUI.
TOUCHY requires a touchy.hal file though.
It would be nice if linuxcncTK could be retrofitted with POSTGUI and at least 
PYVCP panels.
but TCL is not my bag....

One thing that happens is if you try to load two guis in the same config (not 
often to happen,
but sometimes when testing) is that both guis try to load the POSTGUI file and 
of course the 
last one fails due to the pins/signals already being present. Not sure if that 
is a real deal breaker...

It would be a good idea is we added a section in the developers manual about 
the common
requirements of a 'full featured' gui screen eg reparenting, POSTGUI etc.
easier to follow the standard then fix the code after the fact...

my 2 cents :)
