It would be a fine plan to suck PUI into FlightGear and make it play nicely with OSG. I don't propose to replace all the OpenGL code with OSG constructs, but using and setting the OSG state in a predictable way would eliminate the need for hacks and would make the GUI usable on more than one screen.
I think osgWidget will take a while to mature. AFIAK things we take for granted like text field entry don't work at all; it's hard to get that kind of thing right.
