Yeah, probably biting off more than he can chew, but you gotta start
somewhere, right?    ;-)

If he looking to create a shell / menu program with icons? Or just a
GUI frontend lib for widget-y stuff?

Checking the sources to Allegro library (DJGPP, 386+) would show a lot
of VGA / SVGA / VESA stuff for most of that.

Obviously's Georg's FLTK stuff would also be a good place to look:

Or just check the VESA specs:
